The United Federation of Casscata is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Trash Panda with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working population of 7.532 billion Casscatians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scata. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Casscatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,269 trillion Casscatan Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 168,604 Casscatan Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Entomologists flock to Scata for its remarkable gadfly population, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, ample hospital parking is half-filled by the luxury cars of hospital managers, and genetic research is facing major headwinds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Casscata's national animal is the Wombat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Faith.

Casscata is ranked 305,667^th in the world and 4,597^th in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -19.42 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
