The Nomadic Peoples of Cat-Herders United is a huge, safe nation, ruled by President Catniss Mesteñero with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 817 million cat-herders love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El Pueblo Unido. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cat-Herders Unitedian economy, worth 90.9 trillion Feline Florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,254 Feline Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The army spends more time producing 'romantic videos' than actually training soldiers, old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore, the nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers, and toilet paper is considered a non-essential item in the embargo against Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cat-Herders United's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cat-Herders United is ranked 11,886^th in the world and 123^rd in Forest for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,061.3 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
