The Cattery of The Big Bad Boo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Grand Moff with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 16.553 billion Big Bad Booans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fully Sponsored City. The average income tax rate is 30.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Big Bad Booan economy, worth a remarkable 7,783 trillion Flamingoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 470,201 Flamingoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat", children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out, interest in globalism never flags, and nine out of ten citizens of The Big Bad Boo answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation. Crime is totally unknown. The Big Bad Boo's national animal is the Twisty Headed Glib, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Nightmarish Redux.

The Big Bad Boo is ranked 156,086^th in the world and 7,886^th in The North Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 22.21 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
