The Still No Civil War of Kathol Rift is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Senator Elaxan Rackham with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 4.372 billion Kathols are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Citadel of Peace. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Kathol economy, worth 907 trillion Chits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 207,501 Chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Senator Elaxan Rackham's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and Senator Elaxan Rackham can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kathol Rift's national animal is the Thunderbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kathol Rift is ranked 2,181^st in the world and 75^th in the Pacific for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 56,653.71 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
