The Borderlands of Unsophisticate is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 19.905 billion Unsophisticateans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unsophisticate City. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Unsophisticatean economy, worth an astonishing 12,860 trillion kals a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 646,082 kals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, the internal market is thriving, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, and the fate of the world literally rests on Leader's fingers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Unsophisticate's national animal is the wolverine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Unsophisticate is ranked 680^th in the world and 37^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5,996.75 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
