The Corponational Conglomerate® of Colboria is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Chief Executive Overlord® Colby® with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.63 billion Colborian®s are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Social Policy and Environment not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Colby Industries® Ultradome XXL®. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Colborian economy, worth a remarkable 1,036 trillion Colbocredit®s a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 223,758 Colbocredit®s, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,909,367 per year while the poor average 4,601, a ratio of 415 to 1.

Ports have ground to a halt as no boat can reach them without trespassing, everybody's got wood thanks to Chief Executive Overlord® Colby®, pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable, and rumor has it that Chief Executive Overlord® Colby® has won three lotteries in a row. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Colboria's national animal is the Colboraptor®, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Colboria is ranked 7,997th in the world and 2nd in The Anduavas for Most Secular, with 97 Atheism Rate.
