The Cat of Sunbeams is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.56 billion Sunbeamsians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Sunbeamsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,938 trillion Latinums a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Tourism, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 388,696 Latinums, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,199,981 per year while the poor average 33,648, a ratio of 65.4 to 1.

Tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, the government subsidizes everything from particle physics to fabric softeners, mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, and the nation has declared war on all passing comets. Crime is relatively low. Sunbeams's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sunbeams is ranked 336^th in the world and 2^nd in Poetry for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 13,132.82 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
