The People's Republic of Catis is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Roman Petrov with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.209 billion Slavs enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volsk. The average income tax rate is 63.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Slavs economy, worth 542 trillion Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 169,029 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, skateparks can be found in every city, and grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Catis's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Catis is ranked 280,981^st in the world and 5,909^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -354.17 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
