The Borderlands of N92613 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.988 billion N92613ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.8%.

The frighteningly efficient N92613ian economy, worth 870 trillion nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 145,420 nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Dessert dishes make up the N92613ian breakfast menu, student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come, N92613 City Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years, and unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. N92613's national animal is the nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

N92613 is ranked 29,865^th in the world and 2,000^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
