The Sandworm of Dune Cat is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Paul Catreides with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.302 billion House Atreides 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arrakis. The average income tax rate is 80.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Muad'Dib economy, worth a remarkable 3,423 trillion spices a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 239,360 spices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, children playing with walkie-talkies are told to 'get a job', the government has stated an intention to min-max its stats for 'teh pwnage', and beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dune Cat's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

Dune Cat is ranked 19,026th in the world and 16th in Temporary Home for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 8,228.41 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
