The United Socialist Republic of Furballland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Szurigaph Úntiæŕlæva Ķehoriananiuautjial with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.152 billion Furballlandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kanguszapevunn-Yúvíliq-Ğrìģorię. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Furballlandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,787 trillion Furballlandian Zezwagats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 249,938 Furballlandian Zezwagats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, you're only as old as you feel, government workers are more efficient and more unhappy than ever, and planespotters are emigrating in droves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Furballland's national animal is the Tuszuvudszkha Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Szwartschzerveéklædszser.

Furballland is ranked 910th in the world and 44th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 168.9 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
