The Republic of Borrhead is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Donald Hunter with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 23.333 billion Scots 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glasgow. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Borrheadian economy, worth a remarkable 3,203 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,315 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide, the "fire department" is often called to remove offensive religious texts, whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Borrheadian Embarrassments, and the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borrhead's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheist.

Borrhead is ranked 4,835^th in the world and 12^th in United Kingdom for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 14,735.85 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
