The Jefature of Cathloic is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Èric with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 8.102 billion Cathloicans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Èric. The average income tax rate is 83.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Cathloican economy, worth a remarkable 1,299 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,373 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Cathloicans have recently stopped mysteriously setting off metal detectors, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, and untold millions of Euros are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cathloic's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic Christian.

Cathloic is ranked 9,026^th in the world and 1^st in Cathloic for Nicest Citizens, with 33.49 average smiles per day.
