The Heartseeker of Catalyse is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Staryi Ulyana Avii Dragomir with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, aversion to nipples, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 18.689 billion Catalysiis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catan. The average income tax rate is 14.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Catalysean economy, worth a remarkable 3,537 trillion thels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Soda Sales, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 189,281 thels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, all you have to do is pray to get into Catalyse, the nation's wilderness is only teenage wasteland, and wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Catalyse's national animal is the vortex drake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Strawberryism.

Catalyse is ranked 11,639^th in the world and 172^nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
