The Catgirl Refuge of Sygma is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sommite Sygma6 with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 46.343 billion Kiskas have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Environment, with Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nekomimi. The average income tax rate is 1.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kiska economy, worth a remarkable 9,156 trillion IoUs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,575 IoUs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics, East Lebatuckese luxury goods are plundered by the working class of Sygma, atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, and manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sygma's national animal is the Cat Girl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is El Amantes de Chicagata.

Sygma is ranked 397^th in the world and 1^st in Anime for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 50,144.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
