The United Federation of Casscata is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Trash Panda with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working population of 7.561 billion Casscatians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scata. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Casscatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,278 trillion Casscatan Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 169,031 Casscatan Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, ample hospital parking is half-filled by the luxury cars of hospital managers, genetic research is facing major headwinds, and finders keepers is the law of the land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Casscata's national animal is the Wombat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Faith.

Casscata is ranked 176,513^th in the world and 2,771^st in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 129.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
