The Borderlands of Capital Nation is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 103 million Capitalist CEOS live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The strong Capital Nationian economy, worth 6.08 trillion Capitalist Corporate Currencies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 59,050 Capitalist Corporate Currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 380,588 per year while the poor average 3,701, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Capital Nation's national animal is the Bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Capital Nation is ranked 67,595th in the world and 60th in Council of Asia for Smartest Citizens, with 39.43 quips per hour.
