The Borderlands of N97991 is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.99 billion N97991ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 78.6%.

The frighteningly efficient N97991ian economy, worth 801 trillion nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 133,788 nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Jaywalking is punishable by public flogging, farmers are complaining that the buzzing and the sparks from the nearby MagRail are blighting their crops, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, and advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Leader's most personal functions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. N97991's national animal is the nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

N97991 is ranked 288,070^th in the world and 11,039^th in Lazarus for Most Armed, with 0.13 weapons per person.
