The Delicate Negotiations of Catulla is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tongo Rad with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, ban on automobiles, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 8.475 billion Catullans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cendo-Prae. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Catullan economy, worth 238 trillion Ichtysicles a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,098 Ichtysicles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The election for Tongo Rad's office's janitor is heating up, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, Tongo Rad's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, and a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect. Crime is relatively low. Catulla's national animal is the Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Catulla is ranked 41,357^th in the world and 46^th in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Most Beautiful Environments, with 736.21 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
