The Borderlands of 00 00 is a titanic, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 13.15 billion 00 00ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Welfare, with Defense, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The very strong 00 00ian economy, worth 617 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,994 bitcoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 204,814 per year while the poor average 6,819, a ratio of 30.0 to 1.

Police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, and eminent domain has been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 00 00's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

00 00 is ranked 110,898^th in the world and 1^st in 00 00 for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
