The Holy Empire of FurQ2 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 44.51 billion FurQ2ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient FurQ2ian economy, worth an astonishing 14,429 trillion Furks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 324,180 Furks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The new airport at Mr. Giles' farm is panicking his sheep, hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FurQ2's national animal is the Frank, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

FurQ2 is ranked 257th in the world and 1st in Galts Gulch for Most Stationary, with 6,741.70401864 days.
