The Royal Fire Star Sceptre of Galactic Furs is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Major IrishSetter CEO with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol. Its hard-nosed population of 2.477 billion are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marina City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, prisons are crowded with possible terrorist suspects, the government seizes the property of the recently deceased, and small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galactic Furs's national animal is the Red Flox Setter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Kibble.

Galactic Furs is ranked 34th in the region and 46,414th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
