The Ecologically Responsible Cat of Kattenland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ella with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, lack of airports, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.75 billion Cats 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tree of Many Cats. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Feline economy, worth 315 trillion Katt Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 66,323 Katt Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, and some Feline athletes have defected to Blackacre after being denied the chance to compete in international sporting events. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kattenland's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nature.

Kattenland is ranked 11,654^th in the world and 110^th in Forest for Nicest Citizens, with 30.58 average smiles per day.
