The Cat Shelter of Cat Army is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Cathrine Catsworth with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.623 billion Cats are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catital. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient a cat economy, worth 474 trillion Mice a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 131,008 Mice, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, it's best to decline if Cathrine Catsworth offers to buy a round of drinks, and atheists and evolutionary biologists are fleeing the country like rats from a sinking ship. Crime is totally unknown. Cat Army's national animal is the Persian Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catism.

Cat Army is ranked 197,954^th in the world and 99^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Primitive, scoring -80.85 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
