The Catatonic State of Cathamye is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Kit Purr with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 6.282 billion Cats enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cataplexy. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Feline economy, worth 836 trillion kronor a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 133,135 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, and the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cathamye's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is serenity.

Cathamye is ranked 285,922^nd in the world and 845^th in 10000 Islands for Most Patriotic, with 0.32 flags saluted per person per day.
