The Principality of Saint-Catherine is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prince Michael with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory gun ownership, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 19.528 billion Saint Catherinites are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The tiny government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yekateringrad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.
The powerhouse Catherinite economy, worth a remarkable 1,671 trillion crowns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 85,603 crowns, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 548,548 per year while the poor average 5,451, a ratio of 100 to 1.
Nation-building is the new national pastime, selling bombs to terrorists has become government policy, the newspaper industry is subsidised by the government in order to keep it afloat, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Saint-Catherine's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.
Saint-Catherine is ranked 5,541st in the world and 3rd in the Columbia River for Most Stationary, with 3,070.70636808 days.
