The Borderlands of Nothreen is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its feral children, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.254 billion Nothreenians 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 minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Nothreenian economy, worth 536 trillion Noos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 237,957 Noos, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,085,503 per year while the poor average 4,077, a ratio of 511 to 1.

Governments opposing Nothreen are beset by rebels, young girls often attend the same schools as their children, the government is purchasing vast amounts of palm oil for plastics production, and the roar of the Niagara 3000 mega-loo can be heard several blocks away. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nothreen's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Nothreen is ranked 7,109^th in the world and 257^th in the South Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 85.23 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
