The Katserreich of Kattenstaad is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Katser Pîscă I with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.82 billion Kattens 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riga. The average income tax rate is 30.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Katten economy, worth 753 trillion Myrekis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 85,422 Myrekis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Katser Pîscă I is the self-declared God of all Kattenstaad, no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and the government is suspected of mass disappearing dissidents both at home and abroad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kattenstaad's national animal is the Blue-Fin Fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Katten War Cult.

Kattenstaad is ranked 18,362^nd in the world and 2^nd in Adeodatus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,260.6 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
