The Borderlands of Unsophisticate is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 21.179 billion Unsophisticateans 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 relatively small, corrupt 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 54.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Unsophisticatean economy, worth an astonishing 13,736 trillion kals a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 648,586 kals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

News headlines suggest that Leader has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, many politicians are having to do a hard day's work for the first time in their careers, and Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. 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 49,671^st in the world and 652^nd in The North Pacific for Nudest, with 208.75 cheeks per square mile.
