The Grey Critter Nation of Procyonid Republic is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by President Anita Armausøn with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.423 billion Procyonids enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Letor. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Procyonid economy, worth 582 trillion zibels 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 90,693 zibels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is known abroad mostly for its Parliamentary antics, no one knows how to tie a reef knot, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Procyonid Republic's national animal is the raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Procyonid Republic is ranked 16,137^th in the world and 51^st in Carcassonne for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,853.54 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
