The Grand Republic of Kolatis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Edmund Johnson with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 2.361 billion Kolatisians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kolatisburg. The average income tax rate is 23.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kolatisian economy, worth 128 trillion Kols a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,275 Kols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, Kolatis has designated Kolatisburg as its capital city, Edmund Johnson has just been declared ruler of Kolatis in an international press conference, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kolatis's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kolatis is ranked 8,982^nd in the world and 17^th in United Democratic Nations for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,162.54 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
