The Republic of South Colove is a small, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23 million South Coloveans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The very strong South Colovean economy, worth 1.69 trillion Colove Dolarups a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 73,398 Colove Dolarups, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 349,741 per year while the poor average 9,056, a ratio of 38.6 to 1.

Only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, wait staff claim to like it when odorous customers flirt with them, putting a mustache on a banknote is considered defacing a national monument, and rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. South Colove's national animal is the giraffe, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

South Colove is ranked 167,553^rd in the world and 732^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,070.63 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
