The Colony of Pede Cattus is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Schwarzstern with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.025 billion Pede Cattusians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catalina. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The all-consuming Pede Cattusian economy, worth 104 trillion Katzenminzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 101,822 Katzenminzes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 290,178 per year while the poor average 28,495, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

The nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, and Sternenclan has been named as Pede Cattus's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Pede Cattus's national animal is the Katze, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sternenclan.

Pede Cattus is ranked 172,169^th in the world and 3,781^st in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
