The Rogue Nation of FOX-HOUND is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million Fox Hounders are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The very strong Fox Hounder economy, worth 322 billion FOX-HOUND Coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 64,409 FOX-HOUND Coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 419,980 per year while the poor average 3,909, a ratio of 107 to 1.

The police force is on a recruitment drive, elections have been outlawed, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is a problem. FOX-HOUND's national animal is the Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

FOX-HOUND is ranked 33,914^th in the world and 31^st in Empire of Great Britain for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 60,931.5 Standard Monetary Units.
