The Borderlands of Baspheel is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 293 million Feasters hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mandiaxa Fortress. The average income tax rate is 28.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Baspheelian economy, worth 17.9 trillion Feastcoins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,249 Feastcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

People invite random old men into their homes to play with their kids, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, and the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Baspheel's national animal is the Madeline Celeste, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Baspheel is ranked 213,710^th in the world and 3,507^th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 202.01 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
