The Democratic Republic of Cola Peninsula is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Temporary President Svyatoslav Astakhov with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.084 billion Kolas hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Murmansk. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kola economy, worth 531 trillion Kola kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 172,336 Kola kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, the world still seems flat to some people in space, sections of the police receive paramilitary training, and foreign workers are flooding in as Kola kroner flood out. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cola Peninsula's national animal is the Polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Cola Peninsula is ranked 107,547^th in the world and 34^th in The Global Elite for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,073.32 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
