The Infinite Kingdom of Boarder Princes is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by God-King Cthulhu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 22.03 billion Cultists are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of R'lyeh. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Cultist economy, worth a remarkable 9,540 trillion Elder Signs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 433,045 Elder Signs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, half of Cultist history is deemed too unpatriotic to be mentioned in textbooks, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and anyone dissenting from the state ideology is declared "mentally ill" and whisked away in a straitjacket. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boarder Princes's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cult of Cthulhu.

Boarder Princes is ranked 313,149th in the world and 74th in Underworld for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -9.08 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
