The Republic of Cat021 is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 4.884 billion Cat021ians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 57.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Cat021ian economy, worth 123 trillion pesos a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,278 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Takeaway food bought on the weekend now comes with fifty percent more sweat and tears, the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events, the government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, and recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cat021's national animal is the tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cat021 is ranked 171,400^th in the world and 158^th in Refugia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 118.81 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
