The Rogue Nation of Furby is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 239 million Furbians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Furbish economy, worth 7.35 trillion Furby Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 30,763 Furby Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, posters on 'Furbish Values' advise against being proud of Furby, and builders across Furby are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Furby's national animal is the Furby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Furby is ranked 212,704th in the world and 8th in Yalgac Ahane for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,782.31 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
