The United Provinces of The Furbish Islands is a huge, genial nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 732 million Furbishmen enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Furby City. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Furbish economy, worth 65.8 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 89,945 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, t-shirts displaying a photo of Leader performing the Full-Monty are selling out, and Leader's Twitcher account is typically used to share Furbish jungle cat memes rather than government policy. Crime is totally unknown. The Furbish Islands's national animal is the Furbish jungle cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Furbish Islands is ranked 85,304^th in the world and 62^nd in The League for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.65 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
