The Federation of Meow SSR is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 315 million Catians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Meow SSRian economy, worth 11.8 trillion Catnips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 37,452 Catnips, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prison visits increase substantially during election years, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, and schoolchildren learn an R-rated version of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meow SSR's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Meow SSR is ranked 263,681^st in the world and 209^th in Covenant Shores for Highest Average Incomes, with 37,452.92 Standard Monetary Units.
