The United Socialist States of Catilantha is a very large, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 401 million Catilanthans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Encemond. The average income tax rate is 61.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Catilanthan economy, worth 12.3 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 30,668 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, and Catilantha has designated Encemond as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Catilantha's national animal is the grizzly bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Catilantha is ranked 34,106^th in the world and 653^rd in the South Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 50.74 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
