The United Socialist Republic of Furballland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Szurigaph Úntiæŕlæva Ķehoriananiuautjial with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.108 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 2,772 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 249,557 Furballlandian Zezwagats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, the temple hierarchy have found that endorsements are even more lucrative than indulgences, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. 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 288,177^th in the world and 6,252^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -21.31 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
