The Ecologically Responsible Cat of Kattenland is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ella with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, lack of airports, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.11 billion Cats 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tree of Many Cats. The average income tax rate is 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Feline economy, worth 498 trillion Katt Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Average income is 81,537 Katt Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, Feline novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Ella, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kattenland's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nature.

Kattenland is ranked 240,306^th in the world and 239^th in Forest for Most Authoritarian, with 410.11 milliStalins.
