The Tchnosocial Myrmcocracy of The Cathunters is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 44.277 billion kitty dvourrs 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 Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of This Wk's Capital. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient kitty atr economy, worth a remarkable 9,114 trillion catcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 205,856 catcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Juries deliberate more than magic 8-balls, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, third world countries are rich in "I Love This Wk's Capital" t-shirts, and prosecutors are tucked into bed by the household police officer. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Cathunters's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Cathunters is ranked 317,235th in the world and 260th in Eurth for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
