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

The Democratic Republic of Ktuwwa is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 948 million Ktuwwans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kirtum. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Ktuwwan economy, worth 4.32 trillion Hegptetchis 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 Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. 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 4,555 Hegptetchis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, the might of the entire Ktuwwan Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, no one can find a leaky faucet in Ktuwwa anymore, and Ktuwwa has designated Kirtum as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ktuwwa's national animal is the Fennec Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ktuwwa is ranked 252,650^th in the world and 17^th in The Allied Nations for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.01 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
