The Democratic States of Borthahns is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 490 million Borthahnsians 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Forest Forks. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Borthahnsian economy, worth 39.5 trillion Roks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 80,638 Roks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People are left scratching their heads at the government's decisions, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, and trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews. Crime is totally unknown. Borthahns's national animal is the Porpoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Borthahns is ranked 86,672^nd in the world and 721^st in the West Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 80,638.17 Standard Monetary Units.
