The Republic of Springfoxy is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 862 million Springfoxyians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hurricane Utah. The average income tax rate is 35.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Springfoxyian economy, worth 60.2 trillion Fazcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,820 Fazcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Snowball fights inaugurate summer breaks, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Springfoxy's national animal is the Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Springfoxy is ranked 219,928^th in the world and 30^th in Corvinia Refounded for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -5 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
