The Constitutional Republic of Colinosis is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ceann-suidhe Ogilvie with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, triple-decker prams, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7.462 billion Colinosians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Loch Caileantraive. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Colinosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,144 trillion Honor Staichas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 153,343 Honor Staichas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is under the thumb of countless special interests, the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, the recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself, and body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Colinosis's national animal is the Black Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Colinosis is ranked 46,224^th in the world and 293^rd in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 29.24 flags saluted per person per day.
