The Republic of Kataara is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.464 billion Kataarans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 10.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Kataaran economy, worth 69.4 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,417 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government, music teachers are commonly seen busking in order to fund their music programs, city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, and colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Kataara's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Kataara is ranked 231,873rd in the world and 82nd in Shadow Realms for Most Secular, with 14.08 Atheism Rate.
