The Catochristoferson WA Puppet of Cato2 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dude Ravioli with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.122 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 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lawless Criminal economy, worth 644 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 significant contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 79,324 Silver Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, the nation is wading into dangerous waters, the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", and companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave. 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 9,890th in the world and 87th in Europeia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,599.61 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
