The Dictatorship of Borrondy is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 341 million Borrondyians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 49.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Borrondyian economy, worth 19.1 trillion talers a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,046 talers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, just as students finish their homework it's time for school, elected officials who disagree with Leader have a lot of accidents, and many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borrondy's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Borrondy is ranked 61,937^th in the world and 1,469^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 22.72 flags saluted per person per day.
