The People's Republic of Kolno is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The democratic population of 573 million Kolnoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 16.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kolnoan economy, worth 24.1 trillion złoties a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,092 złoties, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Kolno's national animal is the cobra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Kolno is ranked 182,708^th in the world and 5,812^th in Suspicious for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 38.73 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
