The Borderlands of Unsophisticate is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 19.898 billion Unsophisticateans 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unsophisticate City. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Unsophisticatean economy, worth an astonishing 12,824 trillion kals a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 644,511 kals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, and the internal market is thriving. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Unsophisticate's national animal is the wolverine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Unsophisticate is ranked 165,642^nd in the world and 3,616^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 199.12 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
