The Republic of Meow 1 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Antichrist with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.574 billion Meow 1ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magog. The average income tax rate is 55.1%.

The powerhouse Meow 1ian economy, worth 108 trillion kronor a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,974 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, and enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meow 1's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Satanism.

Meow 1 is ranked 62,061^st in the world and 351^st in The Bottomless Pit for Healthiest Citizens, with 5.44 bananas ingested per day.
