The Second Empire of Dushina is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tsar Fluff the First with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, pith helmet sales, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.061 billion Cats are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Katzé. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kitten economy, worth a remarkable 3,045 trillion Sliver Kittianias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 502,514 Sliver Kittianias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, the government is hungry to spread communism beyond the nation's borders, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dushina's national animal is the Ringed Teal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dushinan Catism.

Dushina is ranked 283,452nd in the world and 3,958th in the Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -13.78 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
