The Second Empire of Dushina is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Tsar Fluff the First with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.005 billion Cats are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novo Katzé. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Kitten economy, worth a remarkable 3,566 trillion Silver Kittianias 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 a breathtaking 509,147 Silver Kittianias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, songs of praise to Tsar Fluff the First are filled with coded messages from the resistance, angry men scowl at each other across chess boards, and former public radio talk pundits are being deployed to front line war zones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dushina's national animal is the Ringed Teal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kattism.

Dushina is ranked 254,491st in the world and 3,089th in the Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -6.2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
