The Technosocial Myrmecocracy of The Cathunters is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 38.961 billion kitty devourers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of This Week's Capital. The income tax rate is 100%.

The strong kitty eater economy, worth a remarkable 5,162 trillion catcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 132,492 catcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, a bureaucratic fight over KEIA cafeteria food expenditures has caused the temporary suspension of all agency counterintelligence operations, and the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Cathunters's national animal is the atomium, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Cathunters is ranked 2,572nd in the world and 4th in Eurth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 135.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
