The Nation of Casscata is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Trash Panda with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, devout population of 2.401 billion Casscatians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scata. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Casscatian economy, worth 339 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,388 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The act of reporting blasphemy is known as 'Orthodoxxing', The Trash Panda's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, war vets look after war animals, and the government has undertaken a massive health education program to combat VODAIS. 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 143,158^th in the world and 3,046^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 567.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
