The Kingdom of Holy Catheria is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Blessed Regent with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.339 billion Catherians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanctoneius. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Catherian economy, worth a remarkable 2,433 trillion Liens a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 260,627 Liens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats, the government maintains that belief brings greater security than money or a roof, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, and politicians cheer the nation's surging death rate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Catheria's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catherinitas.

Holy Catheria is ranked 296,577^th in the world and 216^th in Fifth Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.53 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
