The Pacifist Kingdom of Katuda is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Dimitri Nikoslav IV with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.081 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 133 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 123,082 Kantas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children aren't allowed to chew their pencils until they get home from school, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in King Dimitri Nikoslav IV's bedroom, glamping Katudans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and trust-fund babies line up for places in community college. 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 14,459^th in the world and 763^rd in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.51 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
