The United Socialist States of Meowxistan is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 555 million Meowxistanis are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meowgrad. The average income tax rate is 84.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Meowxistani economy, worth 43.9 trillion bruhs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 79,172 bruhs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meowxistan's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
