The United Federation of Casscata is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by The Trash Panda with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working population of 7.166 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, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scata. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Casscatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,176 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 164,183 Casscatan Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

People with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia faint upon diagnosis, the rich are once again pinching pennies, children are afraid to go out at night due to the ubiquity of hardened jaywalkers, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive 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 300,299^th in the world and 4,194^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.62 kickbacks per hour.
