The Holly and Jolly Empire of The Great Furrican Empire is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Grand Emperor His Majesty Arziel Koto with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.225 billion Furrihonese are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Furrkyo. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Furrihonese economy, worth 299 trillion Orange Buxes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,527 Orange Buxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Orange Bux mansions, students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework, and busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Great Furrican Empire's national animal is the Mighty WhiskerWolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Scientific Atheism.

The Great Furrican Empire is ranked 212,259^th in the world and 3,774^th in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,134.12 Standard Monetary Units.
