The Borderlands of Razorwire is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Adamant Arbiter with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.364 billion Razians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Glitterthorn Towers. The average income tax rate is 85.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Razorwirean economy, worth 877 trillion starmetal shards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 137,870 starmetal shards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most voters only see their chosen representative visit once every election cycle, people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, home renovation projects take decades to complete, and excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions. Crime is totally unknown. Razorwire's national animal is the Giant Flying Aberration, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Razorwire is ranked 260,322^nd in the world and 6,953^rd in Lazarus for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -192.07 on the Hayek Index.
