The Borderlands of Nothreen is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, feral children, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.688 billion Nothreenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Nothreenian economy, worth a remarkable 3,067 trillion Noos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 398,957 Noos, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,717,949 per year while the poor average 21,304, a ratio of 127 to 1.

There'll be no comeback tour for many former boy bands, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, psychological disorders are a taboo subject, and the daily weather forecast often predicts light showers of debris. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nothreen's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nothreen is ranked 14^th in the world and 3^rd in the South Pacific for Most Armed, with 126.35 Weapons Per Person.
