The Kingdom of Cathelineau is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, rampant corporate plagiarism, and triple-decker prams. The cynical, devout population of 472 million Cathelinois 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Guillaume Pinchon. The average income tax rate is 48.3%.

The Cathelinois economy, worth 26.6 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,348 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, the government throws money at problems when in a jam, and treason is relative. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cathelineau's national animal is the pelican, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cathelineau is ranked 100,694^th in the world and 157^th in Christians for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,809.29 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
