Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Seminomadic Republic of Cat-Herders United is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Catniss Mesteñero with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.122 billion Cat-herders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El Pueblo Unido. The average income tax rate is 46.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Cat-Herders Unitedian economy, worth 629 trillion Feline Florins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 152,701 Feline Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism, interest in globalism never flags, and '.lib' or '.con' domains indicate whether Cat-Herders Unitedian websites are meant for liberals or conservatives. Crime is totally unknown. Cat-Herders United's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Feline Catolicism.

Cat-Herders United is ranked 4,477^th in the world and 42^nd in Forest for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 40,387.75 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
