The Mauryan Republic of Kartujia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mauricio Fernández with a fair hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.019 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xikland. The average income tax rate is 28.8%.

The Kartujian economy, worth 49.8 trillion kalyés a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Trout Farming, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 48,896 kalyés, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The Federal Council of Kartujia has been announced as the new Head of State, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, and children are sent to either religious or secular schools. Crime is well under control, 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 107,849^th in the world and 5,001^st in The North Pacific for Largest Governments, scoring 12.17 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
