The Free Land of Kitty-Catium is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.656 billion Kitty-Catiumians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calicornia. The average income tax rate is 28.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Kitty-Catiumian economy, worth 587 trillion Tuna a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,106 Tuna, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Tabby Catball fields, the government is allowing greater autonomy for some regions in the hopes of quelling growing secessionist movements, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and the main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kitty-Catium's national animal is the Tabby Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kitty-Catium is ranked 283,819th in the world and 10,926th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.6 kickbacks per hour.
