The Gamblecore Urban Hellscape of The Front Range is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by General Tao Hanzhang with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 9.353 billion Front Rangers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golden. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Front Ranger economy, worth a remarkable 2,339 trillion wampums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 250,084 wampums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,283,578 per year while the poor average 3,013, a ratio of 757 to 1.

A long-distance hike gets students geared up for a long day at school, every child sleeps with a gun to protect themselves from the monster under the bed, newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives, and General Tao Hanzhang is spearheading a new fashion trend of wearing swimming goggles and medieval armour. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Front Range's national animal is the coyote, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Front Range is ranked 1,948^th in the world and 21^st in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 8,180.91 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
