The Furby Conservancy of Consell is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by King Church I with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, digital currency, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.954 billion Consellians 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 enormous, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Church's Court. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Consellian economy, worth a remarkable 1,014 trillion carcies 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 101,909 carcies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Consell's national animal is the Furby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Furblam.

Consell is ranked 265,769th in the world and 9,639th in Osiris for Fattest Citizens, with 6.85 Obesity Rate.
