The ExaCivilization of The Ctan Species is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Integrated Reality-Aggregator Cores with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ubiquitous missile silos, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.52 billion Ctan 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Peth Kethona Metacomplex. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ctan economy, worth a remarkable 8,297 trillion Basic Units 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 473,615 Basic Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", and The Ctan Species's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ctan Species's national animal is the multi-spectrum Control Virus TN4, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is universal atheism.

The Ctan Species is ranked 40th in the world and 2nd in SICON for Lowest Crime Rates, with 330.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
