The Anomalous States of Kittehz is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Celeste Wander with a fair hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.436 billion Kittehzians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mewodia. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Kittehzian economy, worth 128 trillion Cosmons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,926 Cosmons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, the cat is a protected species, soldiers are equipped with multi-million Cosmon battlesuits, and "Celeste Wander got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kittehz's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Stellarism.

Kittehz is ranked 169,650^th in the world and 7,869^th in Lazarus for Most Authoritarian, with 618.35 milliStalins.
