Kingdom of Cattington
The Kingdom of Cattington (KoC for short) is a state that was originally used to refer to all the towns Purrcat2010 owned and to better organize them, but it soon evolved into his first role-play state on the server. It currently has 4 territories. On January 13th, 2020, it joined the Epsilonian Republic as the Autonomous Kingdom of Cattington. Two days earlier, the Cattington Unity Party was created, it was the major political affiliation in the nation and a minor political party in the Republic of Epsilon. As of August 4th, 2020, it was renamed to the Unity Party. Four days later, Purrcat2010 announced that he had left the Republic of Epsilon in full for reasons too long and complicated to explain here. It was renamed to the Kingdom of Cattington on September 9th, 2020.

History
See the Cattington wiki page for details.
Government
The government of the Kingdom of Cattington is an absolute monarchy with a constitution and elected representation. Elections to the unicameral Cattington Congress take place every four years, and although a multitude of political parties exist, control of the Congress has almost always been held by the Unity Party. The King has most of the power and is not limited by governmental constraints. The legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the Cattingtinian government are the Cattington Congress, the Central Leadership, and the Judicial System. As you are about to see, just because Cattington is an absolute monarchy does not mean it is an authoritarian nightmare, the people do have rights both by the constitution and general convention since at least the 19th Century.

Succession
In the event that the current king (Toth_1) is banned or leaves the MRT. The Deputy Mayor of Cattington gets first priority to become the new monarch of the Kingdom. Put in another way, whoever gets Cattington gets the throne. The new monarch can do what they wish with the Kingdom, up to and including dissolving the nation. Should Toth_1 get unbanned or returns to the server (whichever one makes most sense in the situation), and he asks for all his assets to be returned to him, upon getting Cattington back, he resumes the role of King of Cattington, which automatically restores the kingdom in the event of dissolution unless Toth_1 decrees otherwise.
