The Colony of 1122 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Marco Polo with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.185 billion 1122ians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Public Transport and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cape Kennedy. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The very strong 1122ian economy, worth 463 trillion deniers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 45,477 deniers, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

1122 recently decided against having a capital city, Marco Polo has just been declared ruler of 1122 in an international press conference, Humanism has been named as 1122's national religion, and the best doughnut stores have been taken over by foreign police officers. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. 1122's national animal is the sheep and its national religion is Humanism.

1122 is ranked 149,998^th in the world and 3^rd in Andromeda for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
