The Second Empire of Dushina is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tsar Fluff the First with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.03 billion Cats are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Katzé. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kitten economy, worth a remarkable 3,030 trillion Sliver Kittianias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 502,632 Sliver Kittianias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, they say that Cats made a dessert and called it peace, and the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dushina's national animal is the Ringed Teal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dushinan Catism.

Dushina is ranked 292,545^th in the world and 4,181^st in the Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -1205.22 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
