The Cloned Receptionist of Katheryne is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.962 billion Katheryneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 20.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Katherynean economy, worth 781 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,220 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Katherynean watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and the letters L, G, and B must never be grouped together. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Katheryne's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Katheryne is ranked 46,790th in the world and 592nd in Remembrance for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,990.46 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
