The Armed Republic of Cat Army9 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.733 billion Cat Army9ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and International Aid. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Cat Army9ian economy, worth 62.4 trillion Mice a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,028 Mice, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", the state is footing the bill for billionaires' lawyers, interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", and the police double as repo men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cat Army9's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cat Army9 is ranked 173,237^th in the world and 4^th in Angel of Mercy for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.88 percentage of bribes refused.
