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

The Seminomadic Republic of Cat-Herders United is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Catniss Mesteñero with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.384 billion Cat-herders enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El Pueblo Unido. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cat-Herders Unitedian economy, worth 870 trillion Ducats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,592 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news, there's a bright dawn ahead for Cat-Herders United, and open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost. 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 20,865^th in the world and 148^th in Forest for Most Secular, with 54.76 Atheism Rate.
