The Federal Democratic Republic of Furecia is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Mr Gran Marchenko with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 8.594 billion Furecians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ursula city. The average income tax rate is 4.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Furecian economy, worth a remarkable 1,305 trillion Furecs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 151,956 Furecs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by Mr Gran Marchenko, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Furecia's national animal is the Pariah Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Furecia is ranked 49,132^nd in the world and 5^th in Mauravia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,981.32 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
