The Democratic States of Katkasistan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kat Mandoo with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, unlimited-speed roads, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cheerful population of 21.767 billion Katkasistanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chartreux. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Katkasistanian economy, worth a remarkable 6,438 trillion Kats 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 295,791 Kats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They who do not work shall not eat, Kat Mandoo's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, losing your sock key may require surgical intervention, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime is totally unknown. Katkasistan's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Katkasistan is ranked 414^th in the world and 15^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 87.17 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
