The Federated Union of Democratic Colonies is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Secretary General Thomas Mills with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 39.169 billion Colonials have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viconia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Colonial economy, worth a remarkable 8,640 trillion DC Dollars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 220,587 DC Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

People who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and one year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for Secretary General Thomas Mills's office. Crime is totally unknown. Democratic Colonies's national animal is the Amber Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Democratic Colonies is ranked 12,266^th in the world and 2^nd in Greater Prussia for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,590.15 Tourists Per Hour.
