The Borderlands of Aleksandr Gorelik is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 1.358 billion Aleksandr Gorelikians 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, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.3%.

The strong Aleksandr Gorelikian economy, worth 61.4 trillion Yen a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 45,205 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Harry Potter books are banned, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, organ donation is compulsory, and the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli. Crime is moderate. Aleksandr Gorelik's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Aleksandr Gorelik is ranked 195,318^th in the world and 253^rd in Oofery for Largest Populations, with 1.36 billion capita.
