The People's Republic of Social Catalunya is a large, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 56 million Catalonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The imploded Social Catalunyan economy, worth 248 billion Catalans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 4,443 Catalans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All the world's a stage for Social Catalunyan political theatrics, the latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, all guns must be registered, and edutainment video games are taking Social Catalunya's students to the next level. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Social Catalunya's national animal is the Donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Social Catalunya is ranked 255,999^th in the world and 1,356^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 441.52 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
