The Feline Republic of Catcom is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Head Senator Whiskers VI with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.232 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 medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Floating Islands of Meowtropolis. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Catcomian economy, worth 301 trillion Catnips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 134,723 Catnips, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, billions are being spent on a new island airport, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Catcom's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Felinism.

Catcom is ranked 67,958^th in the world and 15^th in Aeternas for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 10,221.81 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
