The People's Republic of Katosima is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Winston Niles Rumfoord with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.114 billion Katosimen love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asagi. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Katosiman economy, worth a remarkable 3,712 trillion blowies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 194,204 blowies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Katosiman scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Katosima's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Madoka.

Katosima is ranked 293,692^nd in the world and 11,518^th in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 388.41 Standard Monetary Units.
