My answers for this are actually descriptive of my furry webcomic, should it ever exist anywhere besides my brain...
0. What is your furry world like?
For a map I took the map of our American continents and raised the water lever by 40 feet or so. It looks sufficiently different to be alien yet familiar. It must be Canadian. Various regions, depending upon their terrain and their weather, correspond to different historical places. For instance, the capitol city is reminiscent of Ancient Athens, both in custom and style. Some places more closely resemble our time/place/culture, but for the most part they are more historically flavored.
1. Do humans exist in your furry world? If so, how do they treat/how are they treated by the furries?
Yes, but they are looked at, thought of, and treated in the way we would look at, think of, and treat Big Foot or the Lock Ness Monster. Mostly they are considered myth or the stuff of fairy tales, while a small group doggedly claim to have actually seen one and that they do still exist in some number.
2. Do non-morphic animals exist in your furry world? If so, how do they treat/how are they treated by the furries?
Yes, birds and fish. They are treated as we treat our animals, though the concept of pets isn't nearly so strong there as it is with us. Ostriches are treated as we treat horses and cattle, so they are both eaten and used as riding animals and/or beasts of burden. Emus are similarly treated as pigs, and so on down the line of bird sizes.
3. Do non-mammalian “furries” exist in your furry world? If so, how do they treat/how are they treated by the mammal-furries?
Yes. Amphibians, reptiles, and marsupials are all present. The interaction between the various animal groups is much like the interaction between our main three human branches (Mongoloid, Negroid, and Caucasoid -- such as I remember them from my anthropology classes) as seen here in America.
4. Do other mythological creatures (dragons etc.) exist in your furry world? If so, how do they treat/how are they treated by the furries?
No. They are to them as they are to us; fantasy. This includes hybrids which are not biologically possible here. Mules/hinnies, ligers/tigons, leopon/lipard, and similar hybrids which are genetically possible here to us do show up, and with the same frequency as they do here, but impossible mating pairs (lion x kangaroo for example) are effectively sterile pairs.
5. Does Magic operate in your furry world? If so, rate its frequency and power on a scale of 1 to 10. (the higher the rating the more common and/or powerful magic is).
Warped sciences such as "alchemy" and other historical pseudo-sciences like that are practiced, but no, there is no magic.
6. Describe the technology level of your furry world?
The technology levels are really wonky in my furry world. Most of it is really old by our standards. They haven't gotten past "horse"-drawn carriages or sail for aided travel and are generally pre-industrial in most areas. There are no guns, but only "archaic" weapons or weapons which don't involve gun powder or anything similar. The area in which they have the most advanced technology is the area of magnets and they have been doing some things with electro-magnets. Electricity is the very cutting edge of technology and so only really appears in the best cities.
7. On a scale of 1 to 10 how animal-like are furries in your world? (the higher the rating, the more animalistic the furries in your world).
I'd say 6 or 7. They are anthro, but they still maintain their animal physique (i.e. they are not human torsos with animal heads). In the cities they are more apt to be "human-like" in their interactions because the cities enforce close mingling of species.
8. How do the different furry “species” get along in your furry world?
In the cities, public interaction is civil and there is no social issue interacting with members of other species. There are still taboos against inter-species mating/life bonding, but that has more to do with a cultural emphasis on procreation than with speciesism. Out in the rural or untamed wildernesses, species groups tend to band together. In the barbarian lands relations are down-right xenophobic.
In the cities and "civilized" wildernesses, predator furries will only eat non-sentient animals (fish or birds). In large populated areas flocks of domestic birds are raised and sold for meat as we raise and sell livestock. In the barbarian lands, however, sentient predator species are well known to kill and eat other sentient species. This is one reason the species relations in the barbarian lands are so hostilely xenophobic; if you don't stick with your own kind, you might get eaten.
