The Borderlands of Old Cheyenne is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Jill McBain with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate population of 18.58 billion Old Cheyennites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sweetwater. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Old Cheyennean economy, worth a remarkable 3,403 trillion hats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,158 hats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, recognizing the Old Cheyennean flag qualifies you for citizenship, and the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old Cheyenne's national animal is the scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnosticism.
Old Cheyenne is ranked 5,752nd in the world and 270th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 197.35 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
