The Nation of Catalan Republic is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.299 billion Catalans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.4%.

The large but inefficient Catalan economy, worth 209 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,395 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is relatively low. Catalan Republic's national animal is the Catalan donkey.

Catalan Republic is ranked 154,010^th in the world and 17^th in Colonia Apollonis for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,959.44 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
