The Borderlands of N1551 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, ritual sacrifices, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.966 billion N1551ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 83.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient N1551ian economy, worth 859 trillion nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,096 nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street, the "right of sanctuary" stops police pursuit into temples and churches, and companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. N1551's national animal is the nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

N1551 is ranked 281,324^th in the world and 10,270^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 0.35 average smiles per day.
