The Republic of Catlander is a fledgling, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Cats population. The democratic population of 6 million Catlanderians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Catlanderian economy, worth 248 billion Catrs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,483 Catrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Catlander's national animal is the Cats.

Catlander is ranked 82,850^th in the world and 663^rd in Europeia for Safest, scoring 90.35 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
