The Federal Republic of Katuris is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alfold Medtera with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.663 billion Katurisians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kariburg. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Katurisian economy, worth 199 trillion katuriis 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 120,215 katuriis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, artists are pillars of society, the latest "must-have" uPhone is 1/4 mm thinner than last year's uPhone, and angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Katuris's national animal is the crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Katurisian Violetism.
Katuris is ranked 262,871st in the world and 1,214th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.36 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
