The Cats of VioletSHINE is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Darktail with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, strictly enforced bedtime, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.184 billion VioletSHINEians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Healthcare, Industry, and International Aid also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of SkyClan Camp. The average income tax rate is 55.5%.

The powerhouse VioletSHINEian economy, worth 377 trillion Preys a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,309 Preys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Moles make up an incredible part of the upper crust, strange men lingering in offices distributing television sets is a basis for a system of government, sick days are on the rise, and charity workers were first up against the wall when the time came. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. VioletSHINE's national animal is the Violetshine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Star Clan.

VioletSHINE is ranked 39,780^th in the world and 4^th in Hells Lounge for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,276.74 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
