The Borderlands of Horror Food City is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by シャミ子 with an iron fist, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, pith helmet sales, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.814 billion Horror Food Cityians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 萬萬歲. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Horror Food Cityian economy, worth 880 trillion manas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 182,892 manas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from シャミ子's throne, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, and the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Horror Food City's national animal is the Demon Girl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Horror Food City is ranked 48,449^th in the world and 2,800^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,028.54 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
