The Catgirl Refuge of Sygma is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sommite Sygma6 with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 46.394 billion Kiskas 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 minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Environment, with Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nekomimi. The average income tax rate is 1.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kiska economy, worth a remarkable 9,166 trillion IoUs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,575 IoUs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics, East Lebatuckese luxury goods are plundered by the working class of Sygma, atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, and manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sygma's national animal is the Cat Girl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is El Amantes de Chicagata.

Sygma is ranked 286,323^rd in the world and 38^th in Anime for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -34.5 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
