The Kingdom of Gatazo is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Rex Cattus Nermal VII with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.975 billion Gatazolese 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 large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arbuckleton. The average income tax rate is 53.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Gatazoan economy, worth 223 trillion Lasanums a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,316 Lasanums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political commentators say that Rex Cattus Nermal VII's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season, and drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gatazo's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Gatazo.

Gatazo is ranked 266,702^nd in the world and 9,743^rd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 58 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
