The Republic of The Greater Furrican Republic is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by President Floofsen with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 909 million Furricans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Furrudo. The average income tax rate is 25.1%.

The powerhouse Furrican economy, worth 85.6 trillion Furry Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,222 Furry Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

President Floofsen has just been declared ruler of The Greater Furrican Republic in an international press conference, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, statue-sitting has replaced the stake-out as the dullest form of police duty, and foreign leaders are advising that President Floofsen's letters must have gotten lost in the mail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Greater Furrican Republic's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Greater Furrican Republic is ranked 35,343^rd in the world and 1^st in Animal Nations Support Pact for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 195.53 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
