The Republic of Furverlance is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Shalon Cru with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 21.558 billion Furvers 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coarin. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Furvish economy, worth a remarkable 3,329 trillion Verans a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,429 Verans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bins outnumber trees in city parks, stocks go up when the internet says so, the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Furverlance's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular.

Furverlance is ranked 2,403^rd in the world and 1^st in Veran Economic Zone for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 11,322.18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
