The Katserreich of Kattenstaad is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Katser Pîscă I with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.853 billion Kattens 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, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riga. The average income tax rate is 30.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Katten economy, worth 756 trillion Myrekis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 85,422 Myrekis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Katser Pîscă I is the self-declared God of all Kattenstaad, no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and the government is suspected of mass disappearing dissidents both at home and abroad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kattenstaad's national animal is the Blue-Fin Fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Katten War Cult.

Kattenstaad is ranked 327,119^th in the world and 5^th in Adeodatus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -7.75 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
