The Faltering Utopia of Cattgyw Archipelago is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Reo with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.707 billion Cattgyws 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felidoria Heights. The average income tax rate is 59.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cattgywian economy, worth 366 trillion Strogens a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,764 Strogens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food, and dining out often involves Canned Tuna on the plate no matter what you order. Crime is totally unknown. Cattgyw Archipelago's national animal is the Canned Tuna, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Neo-Felifemism.

Cattgyw Archipelago is ranked 21,429^th in the world and 4^th in The Gyws for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,211.18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
