The Republic of Abyssinian Cat is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate population of 1.353 billion Abyssinian Catians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 37.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Abyssinian Catian economy, worth 91.1 trillion Kitty Litters a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,323 Kitty Litters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Abyssinian Cat City Times is sold out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abyssinian Cat's national animal is the Original Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Abyssinian Cat is ranked 97,863^rd in the world and 83^rd in Puppets of Mystris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 925.76 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
