The Borderlands of Taurgur is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Presence of Taurgur with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.895 billion the Losts are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Spirituality, Law & Order, and Environment also on the agenda, while Healthcare and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Heart of Taurgur. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Taurgurian economy, worth a remarkable 1,965 trillion deaths a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 116,312 deaths, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 442,119 per year while the poor average 21,217, a ratio of 20.8 to 1.

A new religious movement claims that people's souls are stored in phosphorus, pregnancy tests are under fire from the government for being marketed only to women, school careers advisors often recommend jobs in telecommunications, and many of the poor live from cradle to grave without ever seeing sunlight. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Taurgur's national animal is the lost soul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Suicide by Dissapearance.

Taurgur is ranked 90,492^nd in the world and 210^th in Forest for Largest Governments, scoring 17.46 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
