The Borderlands of Yay295 is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Hamaliel with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 29.61 billion Borderlandians 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 tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Public Transport, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Onyx. The average income tax rate is 1.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Borderlandian economy, worth 150 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 5,071 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Devotion to God is only skin-deep, sick days are on the rise, unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, and government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yay295's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yay295 is ranked 283,919^th in the world and 4^th in Technologica for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 5,020.91 Standard Monetary Units.
