The Borderlands of Carbon Capture is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 296 million suckers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Law & Order, although Healthcare, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Carbon Capturean economy, worth 17.5 trillion gases a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,126 gases, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong, the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, and government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carbon Capture's national animal is the meaow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Carbon Capture is ranked 35,952^nd in the world and 625^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 800.36 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
