The Democratic Republic of Kolaysland is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 328 million Kolays 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 Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Engelsburg. The average income tax rate is 33.4%.

The Kolayslandian economy, worth 18.7 trillion Kolays rupiahs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,068 Kolays rupiahs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, Kolaysland has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, eminent domain has been abolished, and attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kolaysland's national animal is the Scharfschnabel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kolaysland is ranked 173,086^th in the world and 2,455^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 9.72 Obesity Rate.
