The Federal Republic of Catineri is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gina Schiavone with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.971 billion Catinerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuu-Catinara. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Catinerian economy, worth 490 trillion Cetas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 165,196 Cetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

More money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Catineri, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Gina Schiavone's bedroom, and the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Catineri's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anarcho-Mao-Leninist Orthodox Communism.

Catineri is ranked 177,948^th in the world and 83^rd in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Populations, with 2.97 billion capita.
