The Dominion of Card Hellhound is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 23 million Card Hellhoundians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 32.6%.

The Card Hellhoundian economy, worth 1.36 trillion Linguins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,194 Linguins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations feel proud all year round, politicians are often referred to as thesauruses behind their backs, comic books avoid plot inconsistencies by removing the plot, and citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Hellhound's national animal is the Hellhound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Card Hellhound is ranked 296,362^nd in the world and 2^nd in Hellhound Forest for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 30.85 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
