The Syndicate Federation of The Socialist World Republic of Cats is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Maxwell The Cat with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.088 billion SWRCians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frankigrad. The average income tax rate is 86.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Feline economy, worth 420 trillion Cat Foods a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,196 Cat Foods, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The possibility of gain causes universal pain, pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, and 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Feline Space Agency. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Socialist World Republic of Cats's national animal is the Mus Musculus Sapiens, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of the Magic Cat.

The Socialist World Republic of Cats is ranked 195,414^th in the world and 2^nd in The Multiversal Union for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 598.83 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
