The Nation of Casscata is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Trash Panda with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, public floggings, and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 2.382 billion Casscatians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

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 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Casscatian economy, worth 337 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,682 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

School lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, Casscata has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, many believe that The Trash Panda's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it, and people are turning themselves into worm food. 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 276,417^th in the world and 5,771^st in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -290.11 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
