The Democratic People's Republic of Cat Hill (DPRCH), also called Cat Hill or Cat Nation, is one of the two principal nations on the Create Server. The DPRCH describes itself as socialist and syndicalist and is governed by a workers' council. Early council discussion rejected a permanent single leader and described members as holding equal power.[1] By 31 August, MadShib held the interim chairmanship and catgirlfeet served as Interim Minister of Industrial Labor.[2]
History
Formation
The name Cat Hill appears in public Minecraft chat by 27 August 2026. Early in-game discussion also refers to goods from Cat Hill Winery and the need to trade with other nations, indicating that a territorial and economic identity existed before the DPRCH Council first met later that day.[3]
The DPRCH Council first met later on 27 August, when Shiby told participants that they were council members. The discussion proposed portfolios including labor, national defense, agriculture, internal affairs, propaganda, and foreign affairs. Only some participants responded to proposed assignments, and the council did not complete a cabinet. The interim offices of chairman and Minister of Industrial Labor were established later.
Government and ideology
The DPRCH's political model combines a workers' council with socialist and syndicalist language. Industrial labor, collective projects, defensive construction, and material support for members are recurring subjects in council discussion. MadShib serves as Interim Chairman and catgirlfeet as Interim Minister of Industrial Labor. The use of an interim chair does not replace the council's stated collective authority. Other proposed ministries were not confirmed as a complete cabinet.[4]
When TongsXD asked whether a nomadic lifestyle was compatible with citizenship, catgirlfeet replied that contribution would be required to participate in national projects and receive government benefits. Housing support was also offered.[5]
Membership
As of 31 August, Cat Hill's members were MadShib, catgirlfeet, catnipsmoke, Curb_Y, DevBuiId, BoiOree, GuardianLuvsU, and SquishyIsaac. GuardianLuvsU and SquishyIsaac joined the server and became Cat Hill members on 31 August. SockMonkeyyy was an early council member and former commissar, but left the nation on 29 August. TongsXD was closer to Cat Hill than the Empire but remained politically between the blocs. Sophia continued working in resource collection and mining.[6][7]
Territory and settlements
Cat Hill is the national center and the location of a structure described in public chat as the capitol. The exact border has not been formally surveyed. On 30 August, Spawn Island was described as an autonomous region of the DPRCH.[8] Public Minecraft chat on 31 August states that Jude's base could be seen from the Cat Hill capitol, indicating visual proximity between important sites despite the groups' territorial separation.[9]
Economy and infrastructure
Recorded economic activity includes Cat Hill Winery, food production, mining, and industrial construction. A large windmill was developed on 29–30 August. Electrical infrastructure followed on 30–31 August, alongside an advanced Create storage system protected with SecurityCraft components. Council plans also listed a mine, manufactorum, cannon factory, bunkers, turrets, housing, power systems, and transport links. The dated windmill, electrical, storage, and security works were reported as active development, while other listed projects remained plans.[10]
Agricultural work included Shiby's cultivation and crossbreeding of cannabis through Growery, a mod developed by catgirlfeet.[11]
Defense and security policy
DPRCH members discussed fortifications, artillery, airships, radar, autocannons, and missiles. Shiby continued work with Create: Big Cannons, while SecurityCraft components were being added to protect the developing storage infrastructure.[12] Participants later said the planned bunker and cannons were defensive. In public Minecraft chat on 31 August, catgirlfeet stated that an unapproved strike on the capital would count as griefing and could result in a ban.[13]
Foreign relations
The DPRCH's principal rival is The Empire. A Draft Non-Aggression Treaty was circulated on 28 August but is not shown as signed. DPRCH discussion combined defensive preparations with repeated statements that open war was not desired. See Cat Hill-Empire Cold War.
September construction
By early September, construction included the Cat Hill Library, Cat Hill cannon factory and Cat Hill greenhouse. Isaac assisted Shiby's excavation and developed a Create workshop, while Oxy worked on a base and proposed a hangar and shooting range.[14]
September political developments
The Chickaloon border dispute divided the council over mapped territory and recognition of a nearby settlement. Shiby disputed catgirlfeet's claim, emphasized collective decisions and announced an intention to leave. The public chat does not establish whether a resignation took effect. Catgirlfeet later negotiated the Treaty of Chickaloon and confirmed recognition of Chickaloon.[15]
Oxy was repeatedly addressed as part of the Department of Defense on 4 and 5 September. The public messages do not specify a formal rank.[16]
Later on 5 September, mines near Cat Hill and its portals caused damage and a dispute over responsibility. Investigation, repairs and reported retaliation are covered at 5 September mine incident.[17]
