The Asuka's Galactic Colony of Kratlis is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Asuka Shikinami Langley with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical population of 5.023 billion Kratlisans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kratlivate. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.4%.

The powerhouse Kratlisian economy, worth 467 trillion Intergalactic Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,980 Intergalactic Credits, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government snoops on private internet connections, people who have lived their entire lives in Kratlis are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, the mark of a good ruler is the largeness of his chin, and fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kratlis's national animal is the Intergalactic Hyper-Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Robotoxite Sith Order.

Kratlis is ranked 282,474^th in the world and 27^th in Callista for Most Cultured, scoring 56 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
