The Quentibanch of Caterasia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Queen Supreme President Chief Cate with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.433 billion Caterasians 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 Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Equicate. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The all-consuming Caterasian economy, worth a remarkable 2,760 trillion Marguerites 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 128,774 Marguerites, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Group hugs break out during floor votes, Queen Supreme President Chief Cate is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, and ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caterasia's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Caterasia is ranked 8,672nd in the world and 17th in Forest for Most Stationary, with 2,569.83934835732 days.
