The Federated Municipalities of Ketchupland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Naltin Yeraltante with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 28.671 billion Ketchupese are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verstasana. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ketchupese economy, worth a remarkable 3,330 trillion viatikets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 116,157 viatikets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents are always up to speed on the latest childcare techniques, the wreckages of bombed planes that litter Ketchupland are highly popular tourist destinations, every school is receiving a brand new eraser, and the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong. Crime is almost non-existent. Ketchupland's national animal is the shrieking tapeworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ketchupland is ranked 7,314th in the world and 4th in Sapientia for Most Cultured, scoring 137 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
