The Great Civilization of The Ctan is a behemoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Devagni Pancholi ita Dyvanakh with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 51.717 billion Ctani have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tephet-Sheta. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Ctanian economy, worth an astonishing 15,025 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 290,533 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Out-of-work actors say they can't complain, in the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, emergency responders spend more time in the air than giving air, and dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Ctan's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Ctan is ranked 6,172^nd in the world and 1^st in The Mictlan System for Highest Poor Incomes, with 153,859.13 Standard Monetary Units.
