The Team of Bortalandet is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Nibla Nossnahoj with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cheerful population of 11.96 billion Bortas 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orbero. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Borta economy, worth a remarkable 1,616 trillion Flingas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,137 Flingas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new hit series "Bortalandet's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country, legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, the most common doctor's prescription is "get out of my consulting room", and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bortalandet's national animal is the Polar Hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bortalandet is ranked 2,916^th in the world and 3^rd in Northern Utopia for Safest, scoring 140.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
