The United States of Boreals is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The cynical population of 12 million Borealsians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Borealsian economy, worth 524 billion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 43,729 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, gambling is outlawed, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boreals's national animal is the Crow.

Boreals is ranked 232,635^th in the world and 3,180^th in The East Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 175.98 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
