The Arctic Realm of Cat Army is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Cathrine Catsworth with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 8.8 billion Defender Extremists enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catital. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Feline economy, worth a remarkable 1,806 trillion Mice a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 205,228 Mice, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are raised bilingual from an early age, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Catital for fear of causing a fuss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cat Army's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Defender Extremism.

Cat Army is ranked 3,301^st in the world and 10^th in the Outback for Nicest Citizens, with 56.86 average smiles per day.
