The Cat Shelter of Cat Army is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Cathrine Catsworth with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.686 billion Cats are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catital. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient a cat economy, worth 487 trillion Mice a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 132,340 Mice, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laws are littered with references to cheese, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, and customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cat Army's national animal is the Persian Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catism.

Cat Army is ranked 88,875^th in the world and 146^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 296.32 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
