The Paste Factory Orphans of Deadcatistan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Old Man with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 28.556 billion human resources 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 relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Megacity One. The average income tax rate is 24.1%.

The frighteningly efficient human resource economy, worth an astonishing 10,504 trillion tears of orphans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 367,848 tears of orphans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Universities now offer degrees in cycling etiquette, ants are charged with crimes against humanity, diplomats miss flights while wandering Megacity One Airport's endless art maze, and tourists soak their luggage in boiling water before unpacking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Deadcatistan's national animal is the bearded hipster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the timeless wisdom of Billy Mays.

Deadcatistan is ranked 8,433^rd in the world and 91^st in the Rejected Realms for Largest Populations, with 28.6 billion capita.
