The Queendom of Furigard is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 429 million Furigardians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caimgard. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Furigardian economy, worth 27.1 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 63,082 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is cheaper to die in the wilderness than to survive, death row is annually emptied to feed the nation's hunger for televised murder-games, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", and the government terminates employment with extreme prejudice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Furigard's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Furigard is ranked 106,339^th in the world and 1,813^th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
