Katia

Katia (pronounced IPA: /'kɑ.tjɑ/ in Katian), officially The Kingdom of Katia (Katian: Katia Banhegar) is a country located in far-east Asia. It is composed by four islands: Central Katia, Tapyurik, Kauntra and Silkinsíma. This land does not have terrestrial borders. However, it has maritime borders with Russia to the West and Japan to the South. Climatically, the vast majority of the country has cold, cloudy and rainy weather, with a much higher degree of variation in Central Katia than in any other region.

Katia has a population of around 8.3 million. About 85% of residents are ethnic Katians, who have historically inhabited isolatedly in all the four islands until unification in 1200 B.C. Ethnic minorities (15%) usually rest in the big cities (such as Shindan or Makarinzhobna). The official national language is Katian, although Japanese is widely spoken in the Province of Atarnipon. Most people in the country are from Katianist religion, promoted by the prophet Katia, which gave the newly united nation its name in the years 1200 B.C.

Their political ideology is very linked to social welfare, subsidized universal healthcare, respect amongst different ethnic groups and public industries.


 * HE (Hatairuka Erakeiru): The Katian Labor Party, often refered to as "Katian communists" or "the Katian far left" by both Katian and western media. Their political ideology is very linked to the promotion of immigration, socialized heathcare and public services. Very often they have been described as "the remains of Dmitri Lazavov's red-star government."


 * FE (Fritámka Erakeiru): The Katian Liberal Party, often refered to as "Katian liberals" or "the Katian freedom group" by the western media. Their political ideology is very linked to soft migratory and border policy, religious and cultural tollerance, women's and LGBT rights and decentralized education.


 * ZMN (Zielsází Molsú Nerufea): The Katian Green Youth Movement, often refered to as "Katian new generation" or "the Katian youngsters" by the western media. This movement in particular does not have a defined ideology (which is often subject of criticism from the Katian media, and even social media). Their main concerns are the future of resources, the economy and unemployment. However, they do not usually have proposals of their own; instead, they support other parties' proposals.
