The Protectorate of Collenza is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, strictly enforced bedtime, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.411 billion Collenzans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Collenzan economy, worth 138 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,482 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shanty towns have formed around the newly rebuilt commercial district, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', and most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Collenza's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Collenza is ranked 53,490^th in the world and 21^st in RPS for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,012.09 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
