Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Royal Fire Star Sceptre of Galactic Furs is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Major IrishSetter CEO with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed population of 6.837 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt 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 90%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

The nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, the world outside is only known of in folklore, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, and elections have recently been reintroduced to Galactic Furs. 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, its national religion is Interstellar Universal Catholic Faith, and its currency is the Kibble.

Galactic Furs is ranked 16th in And A Great Big Bushy Beard and 83,199th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -32 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
