The Armed Republic of Cat Garrison is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.366 billion Cat Garrisonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 19.9%.

The strong Cat Garrisonian economy, worth 65.2 trillion cats a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 47,744 cats, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, military spending recently hit a new high, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches. Crime is moderate. Cat Garrison's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cat Garrison is ranked 203,823^rd in the world and 1^st in Meowthea for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
