The Autonomous Federation of Borealian Communes is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the General Labour Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.259 billion Borealians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Sudbury. The average income tax rate is 82.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Borealian economy, worth 138 trillion Borealian Dollars 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 110,155 Borealian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In musicals everybody's a little bit racist, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, and artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings. Crime is totally unknown. Borealian Communes's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular.

Borealian Communes is ranked 10,927^th in the world and 247^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,325.72 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
