The Republic of Cabernet is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Cat population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.231 billion Cabernetians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 22.2%.

The strong Cabernetian economy, worth 49.2 trillion Cups a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 39,990 Cups, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Cabernet's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cabernet is ranked 268,129^th in the world and 12^th in Beastland for Highest Average Incomes, with 39,990.66 Standard Monetary Units.
