The Kitten Republic of Hirotogino is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by National Governor Makao Chengia with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory vegetarianism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.013 billion Hirotans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hiroto. The average income tax rate is 25.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hirotanese economy, worth 395 trillion Hirotanese Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,810 Hirotanese Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Hirotogino, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, children have only the most basic of education, and builders across Hirotogino are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hirotogino's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Hirotogino is ranked 86,504^th in the world and 2^nd in Asian Cooperation Pact for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,826.89 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
