The Free Land of -COLORADO- is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 434 million Coloradans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Denver. The average income tax rate is 25.5%.

The Coloradan economy, worth 20.3 trillion US dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,755 US dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, a surprisingly large portion of the national budget is allocated to purchasing MMORPG "Elite Gold Loot Boxes", fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, and dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -COLORADO-'s national animal is the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

-COLORADO- is ranked 266,317^th in the world and 2^nd in Denver International for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
