The Catochristoferson WA Puppet of Cato2 is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Dude Ravioli with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.18 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 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Lawless Criminal economy, worth 691 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 and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 84,501 Silver Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Third world countries are rich in "I Love A Trailer Park" t-shirts, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, athletes are renowned for being the best at maths, and Dude Ravioli has been known to make speeches in fishing waders. 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 5,270th in the world and 51st in Europeia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 59.47 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
