The Free Land of Borehole is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 489 million Boreholeans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of JUYET. The average income tax rate is 29.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Boreholean economy, worth 56.8 trillion BRCS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 116,075 BRCS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps, the transition from trojan horses to regular old horses is on track, and athletes are renowned for being the best at maths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Borehole's national animal is the Bore Eagle 🦅, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Borehole is ranked 82,629^th in the world and 1,259^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,199.97 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
