The Pacifist Kingdom of Katuda is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King Dimitri Nikoslav IV with a fair hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.049 billion Katudans 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Royling. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Katudan economy, worth 126 trillion Kantas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 120,481 Kantas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, smoking is banned in public areas, and election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Katuda's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Abrahamisica.

Katuda is ranked 235,135^th in the world and 8,886^th in The North Pacific for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens, with 34.93 Whatever.
