The Dictatorship of Cat SSR is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Big Cat with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 3.462 billion Communist Cats are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catenhavn. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Cat economy, worth 119 trillion Miavs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,240 Miavs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, Cat SSR is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, and foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cat SSR's national animal is the Cat in a tiger costume, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Big Cat's cult of personality.

Cat SSR is ranked 101,765^th in the world and 444^th in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Poor Incomes, with 30,625.27 Standard Monetary Units.
