The Republic of Coatrack of Fur is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.994 billion Coatrack of Furians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small government prioritizes Industry, although Administration, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Public Transport aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Coatrack of Furian economy, worth 588 trillion currencies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 84,079 currencies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 237,671 per year while the poor average 23,796, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

There's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, frequent broken zippers have resulted in safety pins making a fashion comeback, parents are relieved they no longer need to help with their kids' algebra homework, and home renovation projects take decades to complete. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Coatrack of Fur's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Coatrack of Fur is ranked 39,639^th in the world and 1^st in Region Number 8 for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,669.97 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
