The Armed Republic of The Pillaging Pirate Kittens is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 304 million Pillaging Pirate Kittsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Savanna City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.7%.

The all-consuming Pillaging Pirate Kittensian economy, worth 37.5 trillion Epsilons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 123,405 Epsilons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 377,552 per year while the poor average 31,243, a ratio of 12.1 to 1.

Theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, the nation refuses to provide international aid, and the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. The Pillaging Pirate Kittens's national animal is the Savanna, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Pillaging Pirate Kittens is ranked 268,752^nd in the world and 1^st in The Armed Region of Kittenland for Most Primitive, scoring -232.01 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
