The Republic of Collia Terro is a small, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 36 million Collanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 60.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Collia Terroan economy, worth 864 billion Sendoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 24,025 Sendoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Falcon Dung" has been declared a national treasure, a law degree is required before telling people not to drink and drive, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, and a shipwreck is everyone's fault but the captain's. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Collia Terro's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Collia Terro is ranked 182,432^nd in the world and 15^th in Libertatem for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 293.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
