The Hound of The Baskervilles is a colossal, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.696 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals concentrates mainly on Education, although Commerce and Defence are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baskerville Hall. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, the Father of the House has been in office just shy of a fortnight, procrastination is a national sport, and members of majority races are forced out of their homes to make way for Bigtopians. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. The Baskervilles's national animal is the hound, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the pound.

The Baskervilles is ranked 15th in The Featured Region Followers and 130,142nd in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with -12 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
