The Demeowcratic Republic of Cattstopia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Herman Meowston with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.228 billion Cattstopians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calicoville. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cattstopian economy, worth 121 trillion Maus a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,012 Maus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children searching for cat videos must watch dogs in equal proportion, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, newspapers are running a front-page picture of Herman Meowston holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker, and history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cattstopia's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The church of the Cat.

Cattstopia is ranked 58,633^rd in the world and 499^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
