The Borderlands of A321 is a small, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 20 million A321ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 23.3%.

The strong A321ian economy, worth 842 billion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 42,149 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws. Crime is moderate. A321's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

A321 is ranked 129,501^st in the world and 4^th in Airbus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 121.64 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
