The Disputed Territories of Cringe Furries is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Good Boy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.214 billion Cringe Furriesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bottoms Utopia. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cringe Furriesian economy, worth 118 trillion walkies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 97,581 walkies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation leads The North Pacific in per capita stalking, immigrants who carry knives on them are presumed to be chefs, CF-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, and funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cringe Furries's national animal is the Seasalt, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cringe Furries is ranked 272,321^st in the world and 5,623^rd in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -255.96 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
