The Fractured Republic of Coldian is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Kenneth with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.088 billion Coldians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Collin. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coldianese economy, worth 765 trillion Collans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 248,043 Collans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

It's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, cowboys often wear wolfskin jackets to the saloon, and the Coldian Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Coldian's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Coldian is ranked 5,748^th in the world and 93^rd in 10000 Islands for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 16,526.98 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
