The State of Catharrei is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 13.915 billion Catharreians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.
The strong Catharreian economy, worth 841 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 60,478 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 389,787 per year while the poor average 3,791, a ratio of 102 to 1.
Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes and military spending is on the increase. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Catharrei's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Catharrei is ranked 143,432nd in the world and 5th in Lower Saxony for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
