The Borderlands of Shell is you is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, lack of airports, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.233 billion Shell is youans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The sizeable but inefficient Shell is youan economy, worth 58.6 trillion is a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 47,500 is, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, and male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shell is you's national animal is the ewe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
