The Democratic States of Katkasistan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kat Mandoo with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.444 billion Katkasistanians 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 relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chartreux. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Katkasistanian economy, worth a remarkable 7,582 trillion Kats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 297,988 Kats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Government expenses are beyond compare, residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, a positive GPA is all it takes to get an elite education, and prisons in Katkasistan are the summer homes of murderers. Crime is totally unknown. Katkasistan's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Katkasistan is ranked 438^th in the world and 7^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 54,925.14 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
