The Colony of Cattyland is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.195 billion Cattylandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cattopolis. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Cattylandian economy, worth 157 trillion fuzzes 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 71,649 fuzzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned, and builders across Cattyland are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cattyland's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cattyland is ranked 16,907^th in the world and 58^th in Wintreath for Highest Food Quality, scoring 127.68 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
