The Borderlands of Nores Lend is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.07 billion Nores Lendians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The very strong Nores Lendian economy, worth 64.5 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 60,279 guilders, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 298,716 per year while the poor average 6,897, a ratio of 43.3 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nores Lend's national animal is the elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Nores Lend is ranked 143,593^rd in the world and 1^st in Lagelanden for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,172.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
