The Borderlands of Sandoe is a large, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 141 million Sandoeans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The all-consuming Sandoean economy, worth 11.5 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 81,866 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

Psychological disorders are a taboo subject, government officials across Sandoe are being "encouraged" to adopt Chihuahuas to set an example for the populace, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, and new urban roads are threatening city parks. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sandoe's national animal is the Chihuahua , which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sandoe is ranked 159,821^st in the world and 7^th in VinCorp for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,274.68 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
