The Borderlands of AC DC is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.37 billion AC DCians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sydney. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.0%.

The frighteningly efficient AC DCian economy, worth 897 trillion songs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,188 songs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 382,789 per year while the poor average 21,568, a ratio of 17.7 to 1.

Corruption is a game of two halves, descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for AC DC, and mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AC DC's national animal is the hellbender lizard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

AC DC is ranked 3,465^th in the world and 2^nd in Australia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,059.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
