The Peoples Republic of Borrin Quen is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Chancellor Daniel Fernández with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.432 billion Borrinqueños are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santurce. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Borrinqueñoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,163 trillion Dólar Borrins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 101,806 Dólar Borrins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, and future leaders of Borrin Quen regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borrin Quen's national animal is the Coquí, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Borrin Quen is ranked 43,897th in the world and 18th in The Commonwealth Society for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,362.96 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
