The Great Canine Kingdom of Vulpine Empire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Swiper the Sage with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 12.277 billion Imperial Citizens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foxdrid. The average income tax rate is 33.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Vulpine Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 1,110 trillion Doubloons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 90,479 Doubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Glamping Imperial Citizens won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, and five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vulpine Empire's national animal is the Sea Serpent, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Latin Foxism.

Vulpine Empire is ranked 36,562^nd in the world and 19^th in The Interdimensional Community for Highest Food Quality, scoring 47.03 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
