The Borderlands of N3315 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, triple-decker prams, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.993 billion N3315ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient N3315ian economy, worth 799 trillion nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 133,407 nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, and most pop videos prominently feature the N3315ian flag. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. N3315's national animal is the nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

N3315 is ranked 284,083^rd in the world and 10,844^th in Lazarus for Most Armed, with 0.14 weapons per person.
