The Catatonic State of Cathamye is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Kit Purr with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 11.304 billion Cats have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cataplexy. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Feline economy, worth a remarkable 1,522 trillion kronor a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 134,690 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every Cat is a king, jury selection begins with explaining what a jury is, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, and a driving license is obtained not by passing a test but by passing a brown envelope. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cathamye's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is serenity.

Cathamye is ranked 304,385th in the world and 346th in 10000 Islands for Fattest Citizens, with 3.51 Obesity Rate.
