The Republic of Colish Arcadia is a tiny, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7 million Colish Arcadians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The very strong Colish Arcadian economy, worth 500 billion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 71,513 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Colish Arcadia's national animal is the elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Colish Arcadia is ranked 12,682^nd in the world and 7^th in RPS for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,596.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
