The State of Foxridge is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 17.479 billion Foxridgeans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.3%.

The strong Foxridgean economy, worth a remarkable 1,064 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 60,879 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the tenet of free speech is held dear, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime is well under control. Foxridge's national animal is the deer.

Foxridge is ranked 176,759^th in the world and 4^th in Northwest Territories for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
