The Constitutional Monarchy of Pippicatty is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Laura Cat with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.978 billion Pippicattyians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harley. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Pippicattyian economy, worth 747 trillion Shyloes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 150,256 Shyloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', ample hospital parking is half-filled by the luxury cars of hospital managers, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, and Laura Cat's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pippicatty's national animal is the Sand Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pippicatty is ranked 189,660^th in the world and 3,277^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 58.44 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
