The Borderlands of Taminebo is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 507 million Tamineboans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Tamineboan economy, worth 23.3 trillion francs 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. 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 45,938 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, the true length of the coastline of Taminebo may never be measured, and people can often be seen driving to work in war-surplus tanks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taminebo's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Taminebo is ranked 130,552^nd in the world and 8^th in Austin Texa storage for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 2,863.45 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
