The Very democratic republic of New the Katyusha is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Great Leader Kalinski Brodinov with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, anti-smoking policies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.874 billion New the Katyushans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Petronovka-tioucha. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong New the Katyushan economy, worth 668 trillion Ozars 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 84,959 Ozars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing, procrastination is a national sport, and you can represent some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New the Katyusha's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Democracy.
