The Republic of Landicatu is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lion the Cat with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.461 billion Landicatuans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catlandia. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Landicatuan economy, worth 107 trillion meows a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,851 meows, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, and holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Landicatu's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Landicatu is ranked 72,540^th in the world and 810^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,983.74 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
