The Kingdom of Holy Catheria is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Blessed Regent with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.25 billion Catherians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanctoneius. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Catherian economy, worth a remarkable 2,387 trillion Liens a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 258,078 Liens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Blessed Regent is refusing to make decisions until the Moon is out of Capricorn, Blessed Regent will only ring up foreign leaders if they agree to reverse the charges, society is now confronted with the problem of the mage gap, and girls in elementary school classes gaze longingly at boys playing tag. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Catheria's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catherinitas.

Holy Catheria is ranked 37,805th in the world and 79th in Fifth Empire for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 219.56 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
