The United Provinces of Gamhound is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Executor Jason Parenon with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.578 billion Gamhoundish are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scorchburg. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Gamhoundish economy, worth a remarkable 6,123 trillion Gams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 283,777 Gams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The official Gamhoundish Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, Supreme Executor Jason Parenon is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, and Gamhoundish believe manners maketh the leader. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gamhound's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Eternal Conflagration.

Gamhound is ranked 236,295^th in the world and 195^th in Yggdrasil for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -12.58 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
