The Borderlands of Mystic Shores is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and smutty television. The devout population of 918 million Mystics have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Welfare, Education, and Defense are also considered important, while Administration isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 22.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Mystic Shoresian economy, worth 37.7 trillion Mystic Pearls a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is 41,017 Mystic Pearls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

A few people seem to spend their whole time complaining, the Mystic Shoresian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain, and no one over the age of 35 has the slightest clue what is going on. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Mystic Shores's national animal is the Celestial Dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Mystic Shores is ranked 242,959^th in the world and 8^th in Mystic Shores for Largest Black Market, with 171 billion Standard Monetary Units.
