Location: Kittens Sanctuary

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Most Serene Matriarchy of The Samurai Kittens is a colossal, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.294 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, adultery has been made a capital offence, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled The Samurai Kittens with a very polite populace. Crime is a major problem. The Samurai Kittens's national animal is the Maneki Neko, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Koku.

The Samurai Kittens is ranked 3rd in Kittens Sanctuary and 7,642nd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 6 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
