The Meowarchy of Existential Cats is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by A Highly Spirited Individual with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.325 billion Existential Cats have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seering Anguish. The average income tax rate is 41.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Existential economy, worth 523 trillion suffering natures of existence 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, 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 82,730 suffering natures of existence, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', pro-life activists often lecture pregnant women undergoing routine prenatal screening, biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, and on-duty Air Existential Cats flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class. Crime is well under control. Existential Cats's national animal is the mensch, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Irrational Self-Interest.

Existential Cats is ranked 81,729^th in the world and 2,301^st in Lazarus for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 68.72 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
