Summary
The Republic of Saike formed from the ashes of the Russian Empire in 1917, cutting its teeth as a fledgling nation by surviving amidst worldwide economic depression and the onset of a second world war; the country made its first fortune through manufacturing plane and tank parts, and using its efficient railroads to effectively transport goods and Allied troops throughout the Balkans. When the war was finally over, and the American and Soviet empires clashed over their imperialist greed, Saike managed to close its borders and air space from potential invasion, taking a harsh stance on espionage, forming their own secret police known as the Ahserrat which became effective at sniffing out and expelling KGB and CIA alike. In 1951, while Saike's science division worked on producing their answer to the H-bomb, an industrial accident ripped open a dimensional fissure in the countryside, expelling a massive, radiant energy that the country came to recognize...as magic.

Summary
According to "The Story of... Patatas", the Taskmaster's stuffed toy cat, Patatas, is down to his last of his nine lives. It's said he spends much of his time searching for a magical elixir that might restore some of his lives.
Which is ridiculous. Patatas is a stuffed toy. A prop from the Taskmaster UK show, useful for the comedian contestants to use, abuse, and abandon as is convenient. No-one would really go on a quest for a magical elixir for him. That'd be silly.
