The Allied Corporate Empire of Northern Borland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President and CEO with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 35.553 billion Northern Borlandians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Commerce City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Borlandian economy, worth an astonishing 37,877 trillion Greenbacks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 1,065,389 Greenbacks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,842,175 per year while the poor average 98,941, a ratio of 59.0 to 1.

Patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Northern Borland" at foreigners, major boxing matches are held in government buildings, stale 'yo mamma' insults have been replaced by 'your maternal DNA' insults, and blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Northern Borland's national animal is the Buck, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Northern Borland is ranked 16,822^nd in the world and 21^st in Capitalist Paradise for Highest Drug Use, scoring 114 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
