The Mouse Licker of Galley Cat is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 43.212 billion Galley Catians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but underdeveloped Galley Catian economy, worth a remarkable 1,104 trillion tuna snacks 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 25,550 tuna snacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galley Cat's national animal is the rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Galley Cat is ranked 201,540^th in the world and 52^nd in United States for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring zero on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
