The Borderlands of Athrid HullHund is a massive, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.401 billion Athrid HullHundians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New HullHund City. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Athrid HullHundian economy, worth 218 trillion Lithuamiuns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 64,353 Lithuamiuns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, and crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Athrid HullHund's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lobotism.

Athrid HullHund is ranked 15,622^nd in the world and 373^rd in the West Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 128.06 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
