The Borderlands of Usususu is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sue with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.083 billion Usususuans 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Susu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.4%.

The very strong Usususuan economy, worth 867 trillion molars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 95,484 molars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,751 per year while the poor average 25,071, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.

Usususu's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, super-powered zombies parade through the streets of Susu, and adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Usususu's national animal is the hippopotamus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Usususu is ranked 144,606th in the world and 58th in The Hole To Hide In for Most Stationary, with 181.7289809156 days.
