The People's Republic of Kaumaterlia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by JP with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.505 billion Kaumaters enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karmeles. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kaumater economy, worth 144 trillion Kroner 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 96,325 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, straitjackets are a common religious garb, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, and the government is constantly producing new maps to accommodate the continual renaming of cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaumaterlia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kaumaterlia is ranked 116,502^nd in the world and 210^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,832.01 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
