The Borderlands of Carbon Capture is a huge, safe nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 490 million scrubbers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scrubbertown. The average income tax rate is 29.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Carbon Capturean economy, worth 31.9 trillion gases a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 65,013 gases, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Where there's a will there is usually a password manager, scientists have great chemistry with their subjects, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, and the beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carbon Capture's national animal is the meaow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Carbon Capture is ranked 134,468th in the world and 710th in Europe for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,627.06 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
