The Free Nation of Individualist Catopia is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.245 billion Individualist Catopians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 51.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Individualist Catopian economy, worth 258 trillion Kots a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 79,761 Kots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing, citizens are required to report any and all incidents of prayer to their local Religious Affairs Officer, and the daily weather forecast often predicts light showers of debris. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Individualist Catopia's national animal is the red-faced feather-bellied Maine Coon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Individualist Catopia is ranked 213,170^th in the world and 4,910^th in The North Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.99 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
