The Morbid Abode of Catacomb Dwellers is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by a Premier with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 20.925 billion Catacomb Dwellers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals prioritizes Administration, although International Aid is also considered important, while Law & Order and Welfare are ignored. Income tax is unheard of.

The large but stagnant Catacomb Dwelling economy, worth 689 trillion Francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 32,952 Francs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 287,793 per year while the poor average 579, a ratio of 496 to 1.

The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and Catacomb Dwellers City has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Catacomb Dwellers's national animal is the Rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Catacomb Dwellers is ranked 294,110^th in the world and 2^nd in Paris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
