The Republic of Kathrin Vaughan is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Keidran population. The hard-working population of 13.594 billion Keidrans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.8%.

The Keidran economy, worth 608 trillion Mana crystals a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 44,780 Mana crystals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kathrin Vaughan's national animal is the Keidran, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Kathrin Vaughan is ranked 153,414^th in the world and 63^rd in Penguia for Safest, scoring 57.19 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
