The Quentibanch of Caterasia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Supreme President Chief Cate with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.649 billion Caterasians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Equicate. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The powerhouse Caterasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,393 trillion Marguerites a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 119,607 Marguerites, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bitter pastors forced to officiate gay marriage 'accidentally' pronounce couples "husband and abomination", elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens, 'Horsenado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caterasia's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism and Christianity.

Caterasia is ranked 10,039^th in the world and 71^st in Forest for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 10,849.64 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
