The United Kingdom of FurterUp is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Anna-Abigail-Rae-Rebekah-Evangelin with a fair hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.048 billion FurterUpians 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jebsalem. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The FurterUpian economy, worth 62.3 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,440 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, and petting zoos have loose fingers strewn about. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FurterUp's national animal is the Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

FurterUp is ranked 262,002nd in the world and 12,736th in Osiris for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 16.12 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
