The Constitutional Monarchy of Catacorpo is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Ma Lingsu with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, complete lack of prisons, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.341 billion Catacorpians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catacorpo Centre. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Catacorpian economy, worth 982 trillion Catasis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,912 Catasis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders, scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs, a sledgehammer and a spray can are seen as the default tools of political debate, and sworn provincial enemies must be held back in Ma Lingsu's cabinet meetings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Catacorpo's national animal is the Catacorpian tabby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Catacorpo is ranked 270,686th in the world and 744th in Council of Asia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.08 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
