The United Provinces of Gamhound is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Executor Jason Parenon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.991 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 8,010 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 286,174 Gams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

AI citizens are criticized for being robotic, money grows on trees, the government offers gay men mildly offensive tips on how to pass as straight, and news headlines suggest that Supreme Executor Jason Parenon has a sideline in guinea pig pimping. 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 127,419^th in the world and 45^th in Yggdrasil for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 887.4 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
