The Shattered Colonies of Razorback is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Overseer with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 29.051 billion Razorbackians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Razorback City. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Razorbackian economy, worth a remarkable 4,923 trillion Ragnars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 169,476 Ragnars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", visions of giant pink Rhinos are a common side effect after Razorbackians eat their meals, bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus, and the black market offers sweet deals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Razorback's national animal is the Rhino, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Razorback is ranked 2,018th in the world and 30th in the Rejected Realms for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 12,167.68 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
