The Republic of Meowser is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mittens with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 13.404 billion Meowserians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catstantinople. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Meowserian economy, worth 927 trillion Sliding Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 69,164 Sliding Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Meowserians have replaced bears in a popular idiom, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and punting clubs and posh accents have been added to the national curriculum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meowser's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is followers of the laser pointer.

Meowser is ranked 234,697^th in the world and 8^th in The Slide Countries for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,434.36 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
