The Sultanate of New Katmandu is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 556 million New Katmanduans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, although Defense and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Industry receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The very strong New Katmanduan economy, worth 36.0 trillion Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is 64,793 Rupees, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 197,929 per year while the poor average 16,440, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. New Katmandu's national animal is the Chapuchin monkey, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

New Katmandu is ranked 41,693^rd in the world and 2,279^th in Osiris for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
