The Democratic Arizelist Empire of The Great Furrican Empire is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Grand Emperor Arizel Koto with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.06 billion Furrihonese enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Furrkyo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Furrihonese economy, worth 103 trillion Orange Buxes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 97,730 Orange Buxes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 303,900 per year while the poor average 24,172, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

The daily weather forecast often predicts light showers of debris, virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Furrkyo, chicken farmers must rise before the sun every day to gag their cockerels, and religious people are committed to mental institutions for treatment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Great Furrican Empire's national animal is the WhiskerWolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is State Scientific Atheism.

The Great Furrican Empire is ranked 25,074^th in the world and 960^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 246.07 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
