The Matriarchy of Foksan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Kitsune with an even hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, complete lack of prisons, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, devout population of 2.647 billion Foksans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of SaintFox. The average income tax rate is 82.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Foksanian economy, worth 363 trillion Irons a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,362 Irons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Police reduce their paperwork by refusing to arrest anyone, citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one, the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, and the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foksan's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Lilith.

Foksan is ranked 275,053^rd in the world and 4,786^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
