The Borderlands of Self-Esteem is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 181 million Worthy Person 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Industry and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The A Worthy Person economy, worth 8.35 trillion Freedoms a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,113 Freedoms, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 287,245 per year while the poor average 3,166, a ratio of 90.7 to 1.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, the government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, and the government struggles to keep up with the endless list of petrol disasters. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Self-Esteem's national animal is the Respect, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Self-Esteem is ranked 91,344th in the world and 1,404th in the Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 15.09 average smiles per day.
