The Still No Civil War of Kathol Rift is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Senator Elaxan Rackham with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 3.454 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 is primarily concerned with 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 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Kathol economy, worth 603 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 174,664 Chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending recently hit a new high, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, Thunderbird is one of the most popular forenames in Kathol Rift, and Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned. 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 213,138^th in the world and 5,299^th in the Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.3 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
