The Ging Gang Goolie of Katuda is a huge, genial nation, ruled by King Dimitri Alexei Nikoslav IV with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 792 million Katudans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Royling. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Katudan economy, worth 97.6 trillion Kantas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,261 Kantas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, a child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, and veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Katuda's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Katuda is ranked 41,047^th in the world and 1,429^th in The North Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 77.81 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
