The Borehole of Tunnel is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Isambard Kingdom Brunel with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 23.452 billion tunnelers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seikan. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The underground economy, worth a remarkable 1,133 trillion tubes a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,333 tubes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, medical lawsuits are out of control, and all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tunnel's national animal is the ant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is cut-and-cover.

Tunnel is ranked 2,550th in the world and 13th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 3,891.70584264 days.
