The Nomadic Peoples of Boredland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Akselsen with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.958 billion Boredlandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boredia. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boredlandian economy, worth 290 trillion Cortexist Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 148,616 Cortexist Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, the Boredlandian football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, and the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boredland's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cult of Akselsen.

Boredland is ranked 72,034th in the world and 7th in The Cortexist International for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 71.06 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
