The Kingdom of Gatazo is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rex Cattus Nermal VII with an iron fist, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 4.072 billion Gatazolese are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arbuckleton. The average income tax rate is 57.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Gatazoan economy, worth 218 trillion Lasanums a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,641 Lasanums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public hospital staff roll their eyes at anything less than a heart attack, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, every workday begins with group therapy, and nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gatazo's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Gatazo.

Gatazo is ranked 20,776^th in the world and 1,198^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 113.44 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
