The Theocracy of Catholic Guard is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 1.687 billion Catholic Guardians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, although Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 19.5%.

The strong Catholic Guardian economy, worth 93.6 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 55,487 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Out-of-work basketball players loom over the unemployment line, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Catholic Guard's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Catholic Guard is ranked 55,525^th in the world and 1^st in Alliance of Catholics for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,926.73 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
