The Borderlands of TheUnbound is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 486 million TheUnboundians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.5%.

The strong TheUnboundian economy, worth 26.6 trillion Voidmarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 54,795 Voidmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. TheUnbound's national animal is the Phoenix, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

TheUnbound is ranked 264,052^nd in the world and 1^st in The Unbound for Largest Black Market, with 118 billion Standard Monetary Units.
