The Tiger of Desert Cat is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 23.705 billion Desert Catians 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 large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare is ignored. The average income tax rate is 68.2%.
The powerhouse Desert Catian economy, worth a remarkable 2,491 trillion Sands a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 105,113 Sands, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.
It is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", armed security details escort librarians to their homes, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, and troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Desert Cat's national animal is the Sand Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Desert Cat is ranked 207,346th in the world and 5,648th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 39.62491908448 days.
