The Borderlands of N68683 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, complete lack of prisons, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.044 billion N68683ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 82.8%.

The frighteningly efficient N68683ian economy, worth 835 trillion nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 138,246 nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

It is customary to begin the summer with a fasting ritual in which people eat nothing but kumquat smoothies, summer science camps are regularly raided by narcotics police, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and farmers are complaining that the buzzing and the sparks from the nearby MagRail are blighting their crops. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. N68683's national animal is the nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

N68683 is ranked 279,515^th in the world and 10,597^th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 6.14 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
