The Cattery of Zinertia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by An actual cat with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.916 billion Zinertians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cattertia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Zinertian economy, worth a remarkable 5,627 trillion Zints a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 225,855 Zints, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, astronauts take one small step for Zinertia and one giant step backward from confrontation, and immigrants who carry knives on them are presumed to be chefs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zinertia's national animal is the CAT, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zinertia is ranked 316,663rd in the world and 13,253rd in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -36.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
