The State of Colville is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 29.103 billion Colvilleans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The very strong Colvillean economy, worth 539 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is highly specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail and Tourism. Average income is 18,536 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Colville in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Colville's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Colville is ranked 276,242^nd in the world and 1^st in Melbourne for Highest Poor Incomes, with 7,100.93 Standard Monetary Units.
