The Allied Corporate Empire of Northern Borland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President and CEO with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 33.734 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, liberal, 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 35,088 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 1,040,166 Greenbacks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 8,527,838 per year while the poor average 26,909, a ratio of 316 to 1.

One-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, citizens must pay to enjoy Northern Borland's pristine beaches, scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, and frequent broken zippers have resulted in safety pins making a fashion comeback. 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 3,368^th in the world and 4^th in Capitalist Paradise for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 12,898.83 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
