The Democratic Empire of Catsfern is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by John Henry Eden with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 20.841 billion Catsfernians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raven Rock. The average income tax rate is 9.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Catsfernian economy, worth a remarkable 6,577 trillion Septims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 315,617 Septims, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Competing film industry executives commission movies depicting each other as ugly baby-eating villains, all facts are created equal, sporting events are the biggest source of funding for Catsfernian schools, and children are afraid to go out at night due to the ubiquity of hardened jaywalkers. Crime is totally unknown. Catsfern's national animal is the Neko, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Imperial Pantheon.

Catsfern is ranked 67,620^th in the world and 1^st in RKS System for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,213.15 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
