The Katserreich of Kattenstaad is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Katser Pîscă I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.873 billion Kattens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riga. The average income tax rate is 30.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Katten economy, worth 757 trillion Myrekis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 85,422 Myrekis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Katser Pîscă I is the self-declared God of all Kattenstaad, no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and the government is suspected of mass disappearing dissidents both at home and abroad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kattenstaad's national animal is the Blue-Fin Fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Katten War Cult.

Kattenstaad is ranked 266,574^th in the world and 4^th in Adeodatus for Highest Drug Use, scoring 41.47 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
