Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis
The Rogue Nation of The Borderland is a massive, devout nation, notable for its burgeoning blackbird population. Its hard-nosed population of 1.171 billion are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. The Borderland's national animal is the blackbird, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the penny.
The Borderland is ranked 1st in The Genesis Federation and 14,864th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -8 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
