“Tough but Fair”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Katikstan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Kat with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.266 billion Katikstanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meowland. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Katikstanian economy, worth 81.6 trillion Katnips a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,471 Katnips, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, planes can be grounded for months simply because an inspector "didn't like the color", and skateparks can be found in every city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Katikstan's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Katikstan is ranked 199,846^th in the world and 6,895^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 16,246.82 Standard Monetary Units.
