The Cat of Cat030 is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.857 billion Cat030ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.7%.

The all-consuming Cat030ian economy, worth 771 trillion Mice a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,278 Mice, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 243,574 per year while the poor average 19,342, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

Sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, the nation's smallest Catball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch, and the government has been criticized for giving away Cat030's territory to anyone who claims it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cat030's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cat030 is ranked 269,463^rd in the world and 14,493^rd in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.72 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
