The Grand United Republics of The Hellcatian Empire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Asha Hazoro with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 12.675 billion Hellcatians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Opulena. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hellcatian economy, worth a remarkable 3,962 trillion Psiovas 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in 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 an amazing 312,589 Psiovas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The well-to-do in Institute of Cellulose are never on time for important appointments, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over The Hellcatian Empire, Hellcatians believe manners maketh the leader, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hellcatian Empire's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Oviellinism.

The Hellcatian Empire is ranked 275,278^th in the world and 126^th in Institute of Cellulose for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -11.4 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
