The Ecologically Responsible Cat of Kattenland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ella with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, state-planned economy, and lack of airports. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.87 billion Cats love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tree of Many Cats. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Feline economy, worth 313 trillion Katt Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 64,329 Katt Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents dread their examinations more than their children, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, nobody knows why the caged Cat sings, and one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kattenland's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nature.

Kattenland is ranked 11,181^st in the world and 95^th in Forest for Safest, scoring 119.72 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
