The Federal Republic of Catlovenia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Leafpool with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.245 billion Catlovenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Catlovenia City. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Catlovenian economy, worth 390 trillion catlovenia dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 120,294 catlovenia dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reporters sent to cover suspected UFO visits come back with stories about quilting bees, citizens who inform on their neighbors can trade government "loyalty points" for food and other prizes, citizens who don't display the Catlovenian flag on their property are placed on a terrorist watch list, and President Leafpool has promised 'power to the puppies'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Catlovenia's national animal is the Black-footed cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Catlovenia is ranked 8,854^th in the world and 280^th in The East Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 15.68 bananas ingested per day.
