The I'm Coming Out of My Cage is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.011 billion My Cageans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.6%.

The My Cagean economy, worth 604 trillion kisses 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. 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 54,906 kisses, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, kids are exceptionally good at digging holes, prudishness is on the way out, and immigrant herding has become a national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. My Cage's national animal is the killer.

My Cage is ranked 91,921st in the world and 583rd in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
