The Borderlands of Forrealz is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.432 billion Forrealzians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Education and Welfare receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Forrealzian economy, worth 956 trillion dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Uranium Mining and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,476 dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, the nation's healthcare system has taken a "survival of the fittest" approach in administering care, nihilistic thrill-seekers claim that suicide by roller coaster is the ultimate life experience, and achieving blood purity involves a surprising amount of bloodshed. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Forrealz's national animal is the jellyfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Forrealz is ranked 346,057th in the world and 5,433rd in the South Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -26.11 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
