The Grand Duchy of African golden cat is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.187 billion African golden catians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 41.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving African golden catian economy, worth 87.6 trillion forints 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 73,829 forints, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, international tensions are high as African golden cat threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, and tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. African golden cat's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

African golden cat is ranked 102,000^th in the world and 3,555^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,737.36 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
