"Boss" Hogg was the sole commissioner of Hazzard County, Georgia, and thus held all executive and judicial powers therein. (In real life, Georgia is the only state which still allows this form of government, and in only eight of its 159 counties.) As the wealthiest man in the county, he would do "almost" anything to get his hands on more money, including executing many nefarious and criminal schemes. However, he does not tolerate anyone (even the Dukes, despite Hogg's constant rivalry with them) getting physically hurt in the process (showing that he does have "some" scruples), he also refuses to have anything to do with illegal drugs, regardless of money, making him one of the few TV villains with any such sense of personal ethics. Boss Hogg is described in one analysis as "an ineffectual bad guy—hence amusing".
