The United Technocracy of The Katuanjam is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Vince with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 9.668 billion Katuans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wheatford. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Katuanjami economy, worth a remarkable 1,501 trillion Shmeckels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 155,290 Shmeckels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Katuanjami Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, constituents prefer a carrot and boomstick approach to dealing with politicians, and the banhammer is a standard police sidearm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Katuanjam's national animal is the Giant Pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Katuanjam is ranked 271,192nd in the world and 93rd in Wintercrest for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.49 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
