The People's Republic of Terra Borderlands is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.43 billion Borderlanders enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunrith District. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Terra Borderlandian economy, worth 164 trillion laurels 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 67,288 laurels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and the banshee wail foretells skies of death. Crime is totally unknown. Terra Borderlands's national animal is the manticore, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Terra Borderlands is ranked 310,646^th in the world and 166^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -16.99 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
