The Gay Republic of Furpoli is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 10.361 billion Furpolians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 50.2%.

The large but underdeveloped Furpolian economy, worth 310 trillion pounds 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. 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 29,952 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians are forced to wear portable lie detectors at all times, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Furpoli, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, and laborers are building walls and making Wezeltonia pay for it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Furpoli's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Furpoli is ranked 150,035^th in the world and 5^th in Lisseum for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
