The Kingdom of Kitten Cat is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Jøhan II with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.126 billion Vaslanders are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kattkiti. The average income tax rate is 77.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient a Vaslander economy, worth a remarkable 1,051 trillion Scratches 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. 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 115,171 Scratches, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Golden statues of Jaguars line the memorial avenues of the Funerary District, government officials who do an offal job get smoked, citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, and it is cheaper to die in the wilderness than to survive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kitten Cat's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is No Religion.

Kitten Cat is ranked 13,264^th in the world and 1^st in Snufkia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 37,856.74 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
