The Borderlands of Kobarid is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.235 billion Kobaridians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kobaridian economy, worth a remarkable 1,109 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 120,181 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", business leaders commend the government for enacting an emissions reduction strategy that reduces no Kobaridian emissions at all, and kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kobarid's national animal is the Zlatorog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kobarid is ranked 58,425th in the world and 3,395th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
