The Republic of Decolonia is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 471 million Decolonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sydney. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Decolonian economy, worth 35.7 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,836 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians have seen a significant reduction in followers on their social media accounts, crossbow bolts fill the skies if so much as a sparrow flies overhead, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Decolonia's national animal is the dingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Decolonia is ranked 122,408^th in the world and 463^rd in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,707.06 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
