The Federal Republic of Special Week Plushie is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, ritual sacrifices, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.444 billion Special Week Plushieans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Special Week Plushiean economy, worth 166 trillion monies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,449 monies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 467,151 per year while the poor average 19,018, a ratio of 24.6 to 1.

Urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, and ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Special Week Plushie's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Special Week Plushie is ranked 56,926^th in the world and 198^th in Izern for Most Developed, scoring 75.43 on the Human Development Index.
