The Republic of Black Cat Defense 023 is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.589 billion Black Cat Defense 023ians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The strong Black Cat Defense 023ian economy, worth 58.2 trillion gold coins a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is 36,650 gold coins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 225,777 per year while the poor average 2,589, a ratio of 87.2 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Black Cat Defense 023's national animal is the black cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Black Cat Defense 023 is ranked 246,459^th in the world and 3^rd in European Province for Most Developed, scoring 51.32 on the Human Development Index.
