The Federal Republic of Fuhrmann is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Bundeskanzler Matthias Christian Lange with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 933 million Fuhrmannians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Fuhrmannian economy, worth 49.8 trillion Bundesmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,329 Bundesmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Almost all products in Fuhrmann are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, and welfare funding has recently gone through the roof. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fuhrmann's national animal is the White-tailed eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fuhrmann is ranked 14,834^th in the world and 25^th in Christians for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,741.33 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
