The Borderlands of N29676 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its closed borders, rum-swilling pirates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.078 billion N29676ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 90.4%.

The frighteningly efficient N29676ian economy, worth 801 trillion nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 131,865 nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, and citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. N29676's national animal is the nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

N29676 is ranked 29,630th in the world and 1,859th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 72.97 kickbacks per hour.
