The Borderlands of DeadMemes is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Quinn with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.181 billion DeadMemesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CapybaraIsla. The average income tax rate is 45.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The DeadMemesian economy, worth 68.7 trillion Dabloons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 58,186 Dabloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genetic research is temporarily tied up in government red tape, going on a diet invalidates your passport, religion is strictly forbidden within school grounds, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DeadMemes's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

DeadMemes is ranked 77,873^rd in the world and 4,335^th in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 100.7 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
