The Catochristoferson WA Puppet of Cato2 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dude Ravioli with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.11 billion Lawless Criminals 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of a Trailer Park. The average income tax rate is 84.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lawless Criminal economy, worth 657 trillion Silver Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 81,078 Silver Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, it is common to see Maxémon Trainer listed on Lawless Criminal resumés, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, and the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy. Crime is totally unknown. Cato2's national animal is the Black Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Devil Worshipping.

Cato2 is ranked 18,238th in the world and 126th in Europeia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,418.32 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
