The Watchfires of Catalon-1 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 21.088 billion Catalonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 25.9%.

The thriving Catalon-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,396 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,204 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Leader shrugs in the face of growing inequalities, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Catalon-1's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Catalon-1 is ranked 185,829^th in the world and 1^st in Northern Catalonia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
