The Kartimakrelian Union of Kartujia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Mauricio III with a fair hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.908 billion Kartujans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ictilicia City. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kartujian economy, worth 83.1 trillion Triantidads 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 major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 43,552 Triantidads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons, insolent whistleblowers receive their just desserts on deserted isles, unused plastic recycling bins are being dumped into landfills by the tonne, and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kartujia's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianism.

Kartujia is ranked 68,771^st in the world and 3,007^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,018.18 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
