The Sincere Dominion of Foxdale is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Andrew Barker with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 3.056 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shepherd. The average income tax rate is 27%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Foxdale successfully hosted the 10000 Islands Olympics, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, and the welfare administration's new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem. Foxdale's national animal is the horse head, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Protestant, and its currency is the Dowcha.

Foxdale is ranked 1,632nd in 10000 Islands and 67,294th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 108 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
