The Republic of Cataria is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Oscar de la Olla with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.304 billion Catarians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celipse. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Catarian economy, worth 466 trillion francatars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 141,333 francatars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The national security service are a bunch of crooks, diplomacy is a foreign concept to Catarians, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is totally unknown. Cataria's national animal is the lagarto, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Cataria is ranked 107,535th in the world and 4,777th in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 41,834.76 Standard Monetary Units.
