Economy



The economy in Cattala is mainly focused on the banking and financial services sectors in Jennai, the biggest city, with agriculture and tourism making up the GDP outside of the CBD’s of each city. Industry is centred on military products and producing bio fuel and industrial-scale food production.
The public sector in Cattala is much larger than the private sector, with the Government funding the National Health Service (Mutua), railways industry (Ferrovie), energy suppliers (Energie Verdi), national airline carrier (Aereo) and postal service (Postale). The national broadcaster, Sky, is heavily subsidised, along with the farming industry and local food store, the Cooperativa.
Investment in the private sector expansion rose sharply in 2009 to around £15 million. Spending on all public sector departments’ amounts to around £70 billion each year.

Culture



Cattala enjoys a wide variety of cultures, because of the combination of British and Mediterranean traditions. Many people enjoy watching West End-style plays and musicals in Jennai, whilst others enjoy classical music and wine from the heart of the Almae countryside. Religion in Cattala, however, remains very strict – over 90% of the population goes to church every weekend, and shops are legally forced to close on Sunday mornings. The entire country comes to a halt for most of the Lord’s Day, with no sporting events or any national celebrations being held because of the 98% following of Catholicism. Each year the Royal Family and the Lord of Celestine visit the Bishop of Rome to show respect to the centre of the Catholic faith.

Royal and Holy Majesty



The Kingdom had been ruled by the Celestine family since the first independence in the 10th century, until it was taken over by successive British and Italian rulers. However during the inter-war years, the RHM had power again briefly, only for the entire family to be nearly completely wiped out by the fascist army of Mussolini.
When the British worked with Cattalians to liberate the islands towards the end of the Second World War, the great nephew of the last King took his rightful place on the throne, and his descendents have ruled the country continuously since 1951.

I really like the interesting fact behind your nation. Cattala looks like a promising nation with interesting details.

Agree with Ray! No pics of the family?

Thanks guys. And yes Miguel, more things on Cattala are coming soon, as I'm sure you understand it takes a while to make things a high quality. I'm still at school, since I don't finish until the 21st July, which is why things aren't moving as fast as other countries.

Royal Family Tree with images coming up. I need to negotiate Prince Luke's geneology with Blakeway, since Prince Luke is actually the brother of the Prince of Rhodes.

As promised:

Nice work. Looks good and realistic.

Great job Thomas

I already saw John in a Quebec movie
