The Borderlands of Athrid HullHund is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mortimer with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, infamous sell-swords, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9.27 billion Athrid HullHundians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New HullHund City. The average income tax rate is 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Athrid HullHundian economy, worth 814 trillion Lithuamiuns a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,916 Lithuamiuns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tightness of border controls in Athrid HullHund leave a little to be desired, children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, and billions of Lithuamiuns are spent to take high-quality photos of the Panther Nebula. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Athrid HullHund's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lobotism.

Athrid HullHund is ranked 22,897^th in the world and 1,648^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
