The Empress of Russia of Catherine The Great is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Princess Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 17.467 billion Catherine The Greatians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Petersburg. The average income tax rate is 80.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Catherine The Greatian economy, worth a remarkable 4,302 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 246,320 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Island residents must resort to canoes and sailboats to get to work, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, the Liberal Progressive and Progressive Liberal parties swear that they have totally different ideologies, and parking's carefree without parking car fees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Catherine The Great's national animal is the Russian Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Russian Orthodox.

Catherine The Great is ranked 251,726^th in the world and 822^nd in NationStates for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2.64 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
