The Republic of Cataclyst Funia is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.183 billion Cataclyst Funians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 53.8%.

The all-consuming Cataclyst Funian economy, worth 585 trillion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,718 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested, slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cataclyst Funia's national animal is the Big Sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cataclyst Funia is ranked 46,759^th in the world and 1^st in Cataclyst Order for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,324 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
