The Republic of Borby is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning kiwi population. The hard-working, democratic population of 443 million Borbyians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.2%.

The very strong Borbyian economy, worth 21.1 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 47,565 bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 152,988 per year while the poor average 11,201, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references. Crime is a problem. Borby's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Borby is ranked 113,518th in the world and 2nd in The Math classroom for Most Developed, scoring 58.93 on the Human Development Index.
