The Allied Corporate Empire of Northern Borland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President and CEO with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 36.13 billion Northern Borlandians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Commerce City. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Northern Borlandian economy, worth an astonishing 38,787 trillion Greenbacks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 1,073,563 Greenbacks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,682,072 per year while the poor average 107,534, a ratio of 52.8 to 1.
Sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, lottery winners spend most of their money on security, and half of the nation's import/export industry is run from a location known only as 'Dead Man's Cove'. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Northern Borland's national animal is the Buck, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Northern Borland is ranked 242,996th in the world and 329th in Capitalist Paradise for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1.5 Tourists Per Hour.
