The National Populist Front of Hoxie is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Leonard Kincaid with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 9.11 billion Hoxieans, 3 million of whom are zombies, have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Presho. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Hoxiean economy, worth a remarkable 3,594 trillion Toxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 323,691 Toxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Hoxie Blood Tithe, calling shotgun on the front seat too many days in a row is seen as a crime against social equality, populations of two-headed Falcons have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, and in a desperate bid for cheap airfare Hoxieans can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hoxie's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Hoxie is ranked 2,738^th in the world and 4^th in New Warsaw Pact for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,284.87 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
