The Most Serene Republic of FourCats is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Human with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.832 billion FourCatsians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bed. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient feline economy, worth 619 trillion floras 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 significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 128,297 floras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, and the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FourCats's national animal is the rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is lazer pointer.

FourCats is ranked 146,707^th in the world and 248^th in Refugia for Most Extreme, scoring 19.34 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
