The Patched Eye of Muppet Gaffer is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by instinct with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.991 billion cats are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Muppet Theatre. The average income tax rate is 28.7%.

The strong a cat economy, worth 714 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,027 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Instinct's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, and companies are turning to trained cats for their most menial jobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muppet Gaffer's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is ailurophilia.

Muppet Gaffer is ranked 75,124^th in the world and 13^th in The Muppet Show for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,335.44 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
