The Borderlands of Baspheel is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 116 million Feasters enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 20.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Baspheelian economy, worth 6.16 trillion Feastcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,115 Feastcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, the government spends twice as much reclaiming lost settlements from the sea as it could've on coastal defences, and internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Baspheel's national animal is the Madeline Celeste, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Baspheel is ranked 227,553rd in the world and 3,870th in the South Pacific for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 1.99 missed references per hour.
