The UFL Team of Houston-Roughnecks is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 4.207 billion Houston-Roughnecksians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.1%.

The strong Houston-Roughnecksian economy, worth 204 trillion baht a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,715 baht, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 150,360 per year while the poor average 12,178, a ratio of 12.3 to 1.

Hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, and sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour'. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Houston-Roughnecks's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Houston-Roughnecks is ranked 230,522^nd in the world and 12,133^rd in Balder for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 29.54 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
