The Republic of Katowicq is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Princess Katya with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.147 billion Katowicqers 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kołaczyce. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Katowicqian economy, worth 831 trillion Kats a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,573 Kats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomats miss flights while wandering Kołaczyce Airport's endless art maze, doctors are in shock as hospitals go into cardiac arrest, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, and recognizing the Katowicqian flag qualifies you for citizenship. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Katowicq's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Katowicq is ranked 5,997^th in the world and 4^th in Horizon for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 7,570.49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
