The very strong Cat653ian economy, worth 85.3 trillion Mice a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 52,632 Mice, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 152,430 per year while the poor average 14,402, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Cat653's national animal is the Cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
