The Democratic Empire of Catsfern is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by John Henry Eden with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 15.545 billion Catsfernians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raven Rock. The average income tax rate is 7.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Catsfernian economy, worth a remarkable 4,821 trillion Septims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 310,146 Septims, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weekends are spent tilting at windmills, armed police are cracking down on untaxed collectable-card-trading in local junior schools, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, and there are traffic jams at sea as diligent customs officers check every part of every ship. Crime is totally unknown. Catsfern's national animal is the Neko, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Imperial Pantheon.

Catsfern is ranked 2,048^th in the world and 1^st in RKS System for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 29,781.21 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
