The Democratic Republic of Fufnurus is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 498 million Fufnurusi are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Fufnurus economy, worth 17.8 trillion fufnuru coins a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,736 fufnuru coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, supervisors in Fufnurus commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, and courtrooms can be a little sketchy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fufnurus's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fufnurus is ranked 87,446^th in the world and 80^th in The Black Hawks for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,567.2 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
