The Cat of Cat067 is a mammoth, pleasant nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The cynical, devout population of 9.361 billion Cat067ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cattery 067. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Cat067ian economy, worth 398 trillion Mice a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 42,529 Mice, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question of 'what is Leader's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange, daisy chain gangs plant flowers and pick up litter, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Cat067, and turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cat067's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cat067 is ranked 220,995th in the world and 8,371st in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.07 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
