The Borderlands of Hoods is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Robin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 21.006 billion Broes live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, International Aid, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Hood. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.3%.

The strong Hoodsian economy, worth 841 trillion Coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 40,058 Coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 272,349 per year while the poor average 2,152, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, Hoods has designated The Hood as its capital city, Robin has just been declared ruler of Hoods in an international press conference, and Moralism has been named as Hoods's national religion. Crime is a problem. Hoods's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Moralism.

Hoods is ranked 260,104^th in the world and 3^rd in G A J for Lowest Crime Rates, with 46.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
