The Empire of Cat theft auto is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 392 million Cat theft autoans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cat city. The average income tax rate is 49.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Cat theft autoan economy, worth 17.0 trillion Bills a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 43,239 Bills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Treason is relative, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, in court almost every witness is a hostile witness, and the practice of capital punishment proves divisive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cat theft auto's national animal is the Dogs, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cat theft auto is ranked 246,339^th in the world and 9,407^th in The North Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.7 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
