The Republic of Watermelon Cat is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 232 million Watermelons are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 15.6%.

The strong Watermelonian economy, worth 16.3 trillion ₪₪s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 70,075 ₪₪s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Rabbits are known to spontaneously explode without warning, priests are being drafted by the church load, advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, and concussed Catball players cannot remember their lineup position. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Watermelon Cat's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Watermelon Cat is ranked 60,308^th in the world and 12^th in 555 for Highest Food Quality, scoring 30.68 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
