The United Provinces of Gamhound is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Executor Jason Parenon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, soft-spoken computers, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 33.115 billion Gamhoundish hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scorchburg. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Gamhoundish economy, worth a remarkable 9,501 trillion Gams 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 286,925 Gams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, scientists pester asteroids with probes until they go away, in the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, and craps take up a lot of time. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gamhound's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Eternal Conflagration.

Gamhound is ranked 917^th in the world and 3^rd in Yggdrasil for Nicest Citizens, with 93.47 average smiles per day.
