The Colony of Catsia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Her Meowness Clawdia Von Whiskerton with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.589 billion Catsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meow. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Catsian economy, worth 83.2 trillion Purrs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,364 Purrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, air purifiers fight smoke machines on Catsian stage setups, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, and the Master Race is being overrun by the genetically-inferior. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Catsia's national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Catsia is ranked 163,570^th in the world and 491^st in 10000 Islands for Nudest, with 121.25 cheeks per square mile.
