The Borderlands of Derision is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 5.55 billion Derisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 45.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Derisian economy, worth 258 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,642 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, out-of-work actors say they can't complain, the main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Derision's national animal is the possum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Derision is ranked 325,770th in the world and 3,100th in the Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
