The Dak Colony of Cath Anden is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Salem with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory gun ownership. The cynical, devout population of 10.202 billion Cath Andenians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cath Anden City. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Cath Andenian economy, worth 391 trillion Queens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,366 Queens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Salem, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cath Anden's national animal is the Alkasia, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lynxism.

Cath Anden is ranked 88,347^th in the world and 2^nd in Prison for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,092.78 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
