The Dog inhabited planet of Colinlandia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by chief colin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, lack of airports, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.219 billion Humanoid boston terriers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of puppyville. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Colinlandian economy, worth 80.0 trillion V-bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 65,623 V-bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians who misplace decimal points on expense reports are fired for gross incompetence, city mayors have to get permission from parliament to take a vacation day, it is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, and foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Colinlandia's national animal is the boston terrier, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the holy dumpling.

Colinlandia is ranked 190,065^th in the world and 54^th in 001 Alpha Prime for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.89 kickbacks per hour.
