The Holy Kitteh of Southern McMasterdonia is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its intelligent population of 2.307 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Law & Order are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City. The average income tax rate is 26%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Gambling and Woodchip Exports.

Mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, Southern McMasterdonia has designated Imperial City as its capital city, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southern McMasterdonia's national animal is the kangawollarcroc, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Mcmaster Royal.

Southern McMasterdonia is ranked 2,664th in Lazarus and 107,995th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -1 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
