The Republic of Basement Kitteh is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lonemagpie with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, national health service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate population of 31.223 billion Basement Kittehians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Basement Kitteh City. The income tax rate is 100.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Basement Kittehian economy, worth a remarkable 6,150 trillion cheezburgers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,001 cheezburgers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The blood, sweat, and tears of poor Basement Kittehians make research institutes rich, agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care, a passport is literally priceless, and weekends are spent tilting at windmills. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Basement Kitteh's national animal is the panzerkatze, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Basement Kitteh is ranked 1,092^nd in the world and 37^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 167.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
