The Republic of Splashtail is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 230 million Splashtailians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.4%.

The Splashtailian economy, worth 9.69 trillion Preys a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is 42,111 Preys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and RiverClan cat sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Splashtail's national animal is the RiverClan cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Splashtail is ranked 236,884^th in the world and 4^th in Norrys new puppet region for Most Developed, scoring 52.26 on the Human Development Index.
