The Cat of Cat003 is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.407 billion Cat003ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Cat003ian economy, worth 986 trillion Mice a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,705 Mice, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, right-wingers complain that too many people are suckling at the welfare teat, the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, and t-shirts displaying a photo of Leader performing the Full-Monty are selling out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cat003's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cat003 is ranked 212,672^nd in the world and 194^th in Refugia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 74.89 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
