The Borderlands of Unsophisticate is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 8.788 billion Unsophisticateans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unsophisticate City. The average income tax rate is 3.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Unsophisticatean economy, worth a remarkable 2,867 trillion kals a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 326,286 kals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, the nation doesn't need to go to war in order to acquire new territory, primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, and children are often punished for the sins of the fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Unsophisticate's national animal is the wolverine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Unsophisticate is ranked 18,463^rd in the world and 915^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,535.96 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
