The United Federation of Casscata is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Trash Panda with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working population of 7.832 billion Casscatians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scata. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Casscatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,335 trillion Casscatan Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 170,530 Casscatan Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists take credit every time it rains in The North Pacific, tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists, Casscata is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and the dance skills of The Trash Panda are said to be almost as subversive as their politics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Casscata's national animal is the Wombat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Faith.

Casscata is ranked 18,405^th in the world and 426^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 170,530.11 Standard Monetary Units.
