The Kingdom of The Pub Cat is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by The Pub Cat with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.068 billion Pub Catians 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, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cat Town. The average income tax rate is 39.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Pub Catian economy, worth 402 trillion Catnips a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,939 Catnips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, there's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day, and the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets. Crime is totally unknown. The Pub Cat's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cat worship.

The Pub Cat is ranked 212,456th in the world and 37th in Mum for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
