The United Meowcialist States of Purrium is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by General Secretary Honey Meow with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.651 billion Purrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Honeypurr City. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Purriumian economy, worth 210 trillion Purrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 57,551 Purrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, the prevalence of circular logic frequently renders parliamentary observers dizzy, diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, and debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purrium's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Purrrrrism.

Purrium is ranked 215,028^th in the world and 86^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Fattest Citizens, with 8.96 Obesity Rate.
