The Merchant Emirate of New Caitarea is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, unlimited-speed roads, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 14.691 billion New Caitari are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qæterinsburg. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Caitarean economy, worth a remarkable 8,002 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is a breathtaking 544,738 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.
Weekends are spent tilting at windmills, new urban roads are threatening city parks, school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites, and Leader's reputation is hard as nails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Caitarea's national animal is the canary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.
New Caitarea is ranked 167,633rd in the world and 3,281st in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 107.7641324198 days.
