The Borderlands of Nothreen is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its smutty television, complete lack of public education, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.2 billion Nothreenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Nothreenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,827 trillion Noos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 392,729 Noos, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,819,058 per year while the poor average 17,715, a ratio of 159 to 1.

Grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving, waste is frequently shipped to other countries, the diplomatic corps stinks, and suburban families are finding themselves increasingly short on food as they waste precious water on their lawns. 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. Nothreen's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Nothreen is ranked 232,802^nd in the world and 7,737^th in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -66.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
