The Republic of Cathy Earnshaw is a mid-sized, orderly nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 67 million █████████ enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The strong █████████ economy, worth 3.51 trillion █████████s a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 52,423 █████████s, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 339,836 per year while the poor average 3,234, a ratio of 105 to 1.

Footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cathy Earnshaw's national animal is the █████████, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cathy Earnshaw is ranked 183,017^th in the world and 2,849^th in Ambition for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 738.74 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
