The Republic of Meowser is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Mittens with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 8.234 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 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Meowserian economy, worth 325 trillion Sliding Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Average income is 39,523 Sliding Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections. 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 63,315^th in the world and 5^th in The Slide Countries for Most Primitive, scoring 43.99 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
