The Republic of Ratbat the Cassette is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 155 million Ratbat the Cassetteans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Spirituality are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 28.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Ratbat the Cassettean economy, worth 6.13 trillion Shanixes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,566 Shanixes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ratbat the Cassette's national animal is the Bat.
