The Star Wars Cats of of Fire Fexxecs is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Dark Mew with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.422 billion Fire Fennecs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Death Star. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fire Fexxecsian economy, worth 444 trillion Catnips 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. 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 an impressive 130,006 Catnips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Senior executives have become freelance basket-weavers in search of less stress and better work-life balance, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, real chickens replace rooster weather vanes on inner-city rooftop gardens, and the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fire Fexxecs's national animal is the Star, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Communism.

Fire Fexxecs is ranked 27,533rd in the world and 692nd in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
