The Great Civilization of The Ctan is a behemoth, efficient nation, ruled by Telissat Amris with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 51.169 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 14,861 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 290,441 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, and teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art. 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 188,085^th in the world and 3^rd in The Mictlan System for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 3.31 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
