The Anarcho-communist state of Catistania is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by General Caticulas VI with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.869 billion Catistanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Neko city. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Catistanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,848 trillion Palladium claws a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 269,121 Palladium claws, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Former public radio talk pundits are being deployed to front line war zones, tourists are flocking to the newly-built MeteorLand family resort, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, and the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks". Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Catistania's national animal is the Catistanian neko, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Potatoism.

Catistania is ranked 7,486^th in the world and 94^th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 181.43 kickbacks per hour.
