The Borderlands of Unsophisticate is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 19.932 billion Unsophisticateans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized 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 54.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Unsophisticatean economy, worth an astonishing 12,890 trillion kals a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 646,739 kals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, the fate of the world literally rests on Leader's fingers, sniffer dogs check train passengers for body odour, and it's illegal to be caught on tape. 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 6,565^th in the world and 168^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 11,110.37 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
