Etruscan/Ancient Greek-style culture and environment, but technology has progressed to late medieval times. The sole species that inhabits this nation are a sea-faring vulpine race who possess numerous ports and harbours on the Foxhood Coastline, and a fleet of triremes which maintain trade routes between the mainland and the colony on Faxas, the island to the south.
Philosophy is a major pastime in Foxhood, with the majority of the upper classes learning it from a young age and carrying it through to adulthood.
Government in Foxhood is based on the ancient greek practise of electing an absolute ruler who rules for ten years before an election is held again. The ruler is elected from a high caste group of aristocrats who run the day-to-day administration of the nation. The current ruler is HH the Imperial Lord Validar, who has ruled for four years.
There have been few wars in the past hundred years, as Foxhood is isolated from most other civilizations, though several civil wars have occured due to disputes about election fraud.
