The Dictatorship of Hello Kitty State is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 307 million Hello kittenese 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Hello Kitty Statean economy, worth 3.15 trillion Strawberries a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 10,251 Strawberries, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, international humanitarian organisations are applauding the government for ending the death penalty, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, and the banhammer is a standard police sidearm. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hello Kitty State's national animal is the Cinnamaroll, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hello Kitty State is ranked 159,845^th in the world and 6,149^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 496.67 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
