The Borderlands of 1ii is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.319 billion iis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming 1iian economy, worth a remarkable 2,344 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is 96,424 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, even God cannot save you in 1ii, apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, and commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1ii's national animal is the laughing swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

1ii is ranked 66,693^rd in the world and 1^st in Islamofascism for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 143.53 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
