The Borderlands of Beachcomber is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory vegetarianism, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 45.845 billion Beachcomberians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Environment, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 25.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Beachcomberian economy, worth a remarkable 1,830 trillion driftwoods a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 39,922 driftwoods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the tenet of free speech is held dear, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Beachcomber's national animal is the ghost crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Beachcomber is ranked 237,895^th in the world and 3,347^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
