The Republic of Katzebien is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Katzebianya with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, flagrant waste-dumping, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.154 billion Katzebienians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catrol. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Katzebienian economy, worth 150 trillion Katzebeses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 130,455 Katzebeses, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Vile black smog from coal power plants has enveloped several major urban centres, waste is frequently shipped to other countries, Cats are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way', and immigrant herding has become a national pastime. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Katzebien's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Katzebien is ranked 260,260^th in the world and 301^st in Conch Kingdom for Most Extreme, scoring 9.27 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
