The Colony of Kitty Softpaws is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords. The hard-working population of 5.268 billion Kitty Softpawsians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 19.1%.

The Kitty Softpawsian economy, worth 263 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,966 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, and school uniforms are compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Kitty Softpaws's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kitty Softpaws is ranked 134,413^th in the world and 4^th in Amaranth for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 531.6 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
