The Colony of 3eA is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 613 million 3eAians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The strong 3eAian economy, worth 23.8 trillion aurums a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 38,859 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 250,451 per year while the poor average 2,435, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making 3eAians any less frightened, surveillance cameras are banned, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 3eA's national animal is the bovina, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

3eA is ranked 118,189^th in the world and 2^nd in 3eA for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,383.01 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
