The Borderlands of Incantor is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.647 billion are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 91%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The number of students attending university has reached a record high, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is pervasive, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Incantor's national animal is the spork, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the flugger.

Incantor is ranked 123rd in the region and 5,787th in the world for Nudest.
