The People's Republic of Catinerooon is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Rocemenade with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 8.701 billion Catinerooonians 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 Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pinnapajoos. The average income tax rate is 88.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Catinerooonian economy, worth 605 trillion Horoshoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,583 Horoshoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, the nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Catinerooon's national animal is the Cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Catinerooon is ranked 39,331^st in the world and 2,481^st in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
