The Grand United Republics of The Hellcatian Empire is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Asha Hazoro with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed population of 12.719 billion Hellcatians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Opulena. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hellcatian economy, worth a remarkable 3,958 trillion Psiovas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 311,234 Psiovas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The well-to-do in Institute of Cellulose are never on time for important appointments, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over The Hellcatian Empire, Hellcatians believe manners maketh the leader, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hellcatian Empire's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Oviellinism.

The Hellcatian Empire is ranked 1,265^th in the world and 13^th in Institute of Cellulose for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 932.07 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
