The Borderlands of N10004 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.062 billion N10004ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 61.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient N10004ian economy, worth 914 trillion nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 150,824 nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

People can often be seen driving to work in war-surplus tanks, being Leader has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, new N10004ian taxis are fitted with server racks, and the Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Leader Pics" has made Leader's mom a celebrity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. N10004's national animal is the nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

N10004 is ranked 240,536^th in the world and 9,499^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 17.65 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
