The Overseer Nation of Kartujia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mauricio III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 5.088 billion 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 enormous, outspoken government prioritizes Healthcare, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ictylicia. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Kartujian economy, worth 216 trillion Tesseriates a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 42,556 Tesseriates, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country has unplugged its internet connection to prevent subversive content, government spokespeople are working overtime trying to convince concerned citizens that Mauricio III is not a crook, Mauricio III claims no responsibility for what Mauricio III's government does, and Mauricio III's new office is 6 by 8 feet with steel walls and a barred door. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded 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, and its national religion is Draedism.

Kartujia is ranked 160,381^st in the world and 7,300^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 52.4 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
