The Catatonic State of Cathamye is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Kit Purr with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, devout population of 7.479 billion Cats enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

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

The frighteningly efficient Feline economy, worth a remarkable 1,031 trillion kronor a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 137,866 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, a formerly quiet little town is now booming as both a cult centre and a tourist attraction, and politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cathamye's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is serenity.

Cathamye is ranked 30,177th in the world and 231st in 10000 Islands for Highest Average Incomes, with 137,866.63 Standard Monetary Units.
