The Grand Duchy of Gato XXI is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, ban on automobiles, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.119 billion Gato XXIians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Gato XXIian economy, worth 502 trillion Pesos a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,154 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, clumsy self-injury is a viable claim in modern compensation culture, and girls in elementary school classes gaze longingly at boys playing tag. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gato XXI's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gato XXI is ranked 161,684^th in the world and 55^th in Obsidian Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60 law-abiding acts per hour.
