The KIWI KATANA of Kiwi Katana is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Young Griff with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, triple-decker prams, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.935 billion Kiwi Katanans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tau-qu-tau. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Kiwi Katanan economy, worth 381 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 96,712 Golds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 513,499 per year while the poor average 9,623, a ratio of 53.4 to 1.

The ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels, a widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat", park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, and school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kiwi Katana's national animal is the Crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Azure Azure Where are You.

Kiwi Katana is ranked 64,289^th in the world and 19^th in Voidwolf for Most Developed, scoring 73 on the Human Development Index.
