The Catochristoferson WA Puppet of Cato2 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dude Ravioli with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.158 billion Lawless Criminals are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of a Trailer Park. The average income tax rate is 85.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lawless Criminal economy, worth 671 trillion Silver Dollars 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 82,320 Silver Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and surfing lessons include how to ward off sharks. Crime is totally unknown. Cato2's national animal is the Black Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Devil Worshipping.

Cato2 is ranked 13,573rd in the world and 99th in Europeia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,505.6 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
