The Borderlands of Dead Flasks is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 62 million Dead Flaskians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 29.2%.

The Flaskian economy, worth 3.75 trillion chicken breasts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 60,508 chicken breasts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The Hanging Gardens account for half of Dead Flasks City's water use, East Lebatuckese luxury goods are plundered by the working class of Dead Flasks, the year's most anticipated show is "Great Deals on Delicious Meals", and hunters have been known to lose limbs while attempting to 'play tag' with their prey. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dead Flasks's national animal is the cheeseburgers, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dead Flasks is ranked 143,647^th in the world and 78^th in The Dominion of Order for Most Developed, scoring 56.09 on the Human Development Index.
