The Cat of Cat129 is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The cynical population of 7.59 billion Catianians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cattery 129. The average income tax rate is 40.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Catianian economy, worth 275 trillion Mice a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,253 Mice, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All streets are privately owned toll roads, religious education is a new government priority, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, and the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Catianian Navy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cat129's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cat129 is ranked 265,373^rd in the world and 12,656^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 5.1 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
