The Republic of Gayfurries is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gabe Matthews with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.196 billion Gayfurriesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geyseckston. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Gayfurriesian economy, worth 110 trillion Owoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,465 Owoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and Geyseckston spends billions upgrading public transport. Crime is totally unknown. Gayfurries's national animal is the Ewe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gayfurries is ranked 34,143^rd in the world and 1,224^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 78 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
