The Federated Union of Democratic Colonies is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Secretary General Thomas Mills with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 46.032 billion Colonials 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viconia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Colonial economy, worth an astonishing 12,374 trillion DC Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 268,826 DC Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, cities are engulfed by smog, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, and nations that kill a Colonial can expect a strongly worded letter. Crime is totally unknown. Democratic Colonies's national animal is the Amber Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Democratic Colonies is ranked 39,017^th in the world and 2^nd in Greater Prussia for Safest, scoring 106.01 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
