The Official Zombie Party of Gato XII is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9.939 billion Gato XIIians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 35.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Gato XIIian economy, worth 586 trillion Credits a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,998 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, soldiers are equipped with multi-million Credit battlesuits, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, and group photos of the members of parliament are often mistaken for family reunions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gato XII's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Gato XII is ranked 76,177th in the world and 2nd in Obsidian Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
