The Cardy Cards Collector of Cat Cards is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its closed borders, parental licensing program, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.34 billion Cat Cardsians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Funias Basement. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Cat Cardsian economy, worth 261 trillion Loewentalers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,224 Loewentalers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Acute politicians deride opposition members for being obtuse, Cat Cardsians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, and cheese lovers have a case of the bleus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cat Cards's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cat Cards is ranked 89,852nd in the world and 102nd in Chicken overlords for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,076.2 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
