The Federal Republic of Catlovenia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Leafpool with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 7.219 billion Catlovenians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Catlovenia City. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Catlovenian economy, worth 929 trillion catlovenian dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 128,691 catlovenian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Catlovenia's national animal is the Black-footed cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Catlovenia is ranked 14,212^th in the world and 807^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 339.23 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
