The Federation of Catala States is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 74 million Catalans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 10.4%.

The Catala Statesian economy, worth 3.50 trillion pesetas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,346 pesetas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime is relatively low. Catala States's national animal is the Catalan donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Catala States is ranked 146,020^th in the world and 2,123^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,096.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
