The Borderlands of Viridian Expanse is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.082 billion Viridian Expansites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Viridian Expansean economy, worth 108 trillion LVUS a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,534 LVUS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians look weirdly alike, soldiers are equipped with multi-million LVU battlesuits, meat-eating is frowned upon, and napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Viridian Expanse's national animal is the Voidmoth, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Viridian Expanse is ranked 249,013^th in the world and 9,217^th in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.68 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
