The Grand Duchy of HMS Colombo is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 4.935 billion HMS Colomboans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 24.3%.

The HMS Colomboan economy, worth 213 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 43,284 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and going on a diet invalidates your passport. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HMS Colombo's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

HMS Colombo is ranked 162,844^th in the world and 8^th in Cruiser Fleet for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 344.25 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
