Katamaristan

Katamaristan is a tiny, developing, and young nation at 7 days old with citizens primarily of Mixed ethnicity who follow mixed religions. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Katamaristan work diligently to produce Aluminum and Marble as tradable resources for their nation. The government has no definite position on foreign affairs at this time. Katamaristan is currently researching nuclear technology for the use of nuclear power plants but believes nuclear weapons should be banned. Plans are on the way within Katamaristan to open new rehabilitation centers across the nation and educate its citizens of the dangers of drug use. Katamaristan allows its citizens to openly protest their government, even if it means violence. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Katamaristan believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Katamaristan will not make deals with another country that has a history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.

Backstory of Katamaristan
There has been a previous nation known as Katamaristan. It was also in the Mostly Harmless Alliance, for about 6 or 7 months, before the ruler, PsyMar, left the game for a variety of reasons. Having returned to the game, PsyMar now seeks to return Katamaristan to the heights it had once reached (such as having a stock market).

The current incarnation of Katamaristan will simply be referred to as Katamaristan for the rest of this article.
