The Federated Union of Democratic Colonies is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Secretary General Thomas Mills with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 46.051 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 12,399 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 269,257 DC Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government strictly regulates whale harvest quotas, retired racing Amber Hawks are served truffles for breakfast, Democratic Colonies's airwaves are dominated by corporate-backed commercial radio, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. 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 62,489^th in the world and 3^rd in Greater Prussia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,115.82 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
