The Nation of Casscata is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Trash Panda with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, daily referendums, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, devout population of 2.327 billion Casscatians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scata. The average income tax rate is 81.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Casscatian economy, worth 329 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,453 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year, blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, and tabloids coo over The Trash Panda's expected child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Casscata's national animal is the Wombat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Faith.

Casscata is ranked 8,347^th in the world and 379^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
