The Empire of The Katerina Islands is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Felix I with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 8.68 billion Katerina Islanders 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katerina City. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Katarinian economy, worth a remarkable 2,183 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 251,527 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, school children declare that teachers "may confiscate our toys but they can never take our FREEDOM", and the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Katerina Islands's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Katerina Islands is ranked 25,175th in the world and 139th in 10000 Islands for Most Stationary, with 1,457.21470627088 days.
