The Santiagueñian Confederation of Kartujia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and strictly enforced bedtime. The democratic population of 743 million Kartujans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xikland. The average income tax rate is 24.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kartujian economy, worth 35.8 trillion kalyés a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 48,141 kalyés, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cat sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites, tantrum-throwing toddlers are regularly imprisoned on assault charges, the old neighbourhood isn't how most Kartujans remember it, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kartujia's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kartujia is ranked 107,524^th in the world and 4,219^th in The North Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 3.19 Crimes Per Hour.
