The Santiagueñian Confederation of Kartujia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and strictly enforced bedtime. The democratic population of 667 million Kartujans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xikland. The average income tax rate is 19.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kartujian economy, worth 33.6 trillion kalyés a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 50,316 kalyés, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Cat sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites, tantrum-throwing toddlers are regularly imprisoned on assault charges, the old neighbourhood isn't how most Kartujans remember it, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kartujia's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kartujia is ranked 18,929^th in the world and 411^th in The North Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 82 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
