The hard-working population of 32 million Catides have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Catide economy, worth 1.55 trillion Pats a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,370 Pats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
