The Borderlands of Greyveldt is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by the Conclave with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.453 billion veldts are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jahenti. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The powerhouse veldtian economy, worth 956 trillion dukats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 128,382 dukats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, The Conclave's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, and kids are told they can be whoever they want to be when they grow up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greyveldt's national animal is the pangolin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wheaton's Law.

Greyveldt is ranked 271,117^th in the world and 284^th in Forest for Most Avoided, scoring 0.49 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
