The Borderlands of Unsophisticate is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 11.772 billion Unsophisticateans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unsophisticate City. The average income tax rate is 20.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Unsophisticatean economy, worth a remarkable 5,102 trillion kals a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 433,402 kals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Chrome-clad space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, government spending has hit an all-time low, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, and it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Unsophisticate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Unsophisticate's national animal is the wolverine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Unsophisticate is ranked 71,083^rd in the world and 3,588^th in The North Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 69.05 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
