The Holy Empire of Catland United is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, vat-grown people, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 618 million Catland Unitedians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.7%.

The powerhouse Catland Unitedian economy, worth 75.3 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,864 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, doctors are encouraged to 'pull the plug' any time the government has a budget crisis, the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Leader in ermine and velvet garb, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Catland United's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Catland United is ranked 47,821^st in the world and 4^th in The Radical Civic Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
