The Borderlands of Oopsy-Daisy is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 26 million Oopsy-Daisyians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 31.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak Oopsy-Daisyian economy, worth 799 billion Oops a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 30,755 Oops, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard. Crime is totally unknown. Oopsy-Daisy's national animal is the gnu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oopsy-Daisy is ranked 309,122nd in the world and 462nd in Horizon for Largest Black Market, with 9.00 billion Standard Monetary Units.
