The Free Land of Borehole is a very large, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory vegetarianism. The devout population of 410 million Boreholeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of JUYET. The average income tax rate is 31.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Boreholean economy, worth 45.4 trillion BRCS 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 110,790 BRCS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, the government is proud to report that ten percent of all tax revenue goes to funding suspected terrorist organizations, and political spontaneity takes a lot of planning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Borehole's national animal is the Bore Eagle 🦅, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Borehole is ranked 56,302^nd in the world and 726^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,380.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
