The Republic of Softest Kittens is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, humorless population of 8.037 billion Softest Kittensians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Softest Kittensian economy, worth a remarkable 1,914 trillion currencies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 238,218 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc, hardline members of the Red Bloc consider Leader a filthy revisionist traitor, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Softest Kittens's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Softest Kittens is ranked 253^rd in the world and 5^th in Vickenian experiment incubator for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 36,169.85 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
