The Prefecture of Katsumoto is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Governor Baron Kato Nobutada with an even hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 3.182 billion Katsumotoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Takamori. The average income tax rate is 36.6%.

The Katsumotoan economy, worth 174 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 54,731 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Governor Baron Kato Nobutada's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, religious leaders order congregants to love any neighbour who is just like themselves, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Takamori Times is sold out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Katsumoto's national animal is the tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Shintō.

Katsumoto is ranked 218,220^th in the world and 105^th in Japan for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.01 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
