The Cattery of The Big Bad Boo is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Grand Moff with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 27.491 billion Big Bad Booans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fully Sponsored City. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Big Bad Booan economy, worth an astonishing 14,869 trillion Flamingoes a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 540,878 Flamingoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, and the national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid. Crime is totally unknown. The Big Bad Boo's national animal is the Twisty Headed Glib, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Nightmarish Redux.
The Big Bad Boo is ranked 526th in the world and 18th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,180.92 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
