The Republic of Boranga is a huge, safe nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 701 million Borangans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Faäre. The average income tax rate is 41.0%.

The Borangan economy, worth 33.4 trillion Alkais a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,627 Alkais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

There's no weight to modern politics, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, billions of Alkais are being poured into a space program, and the national security service are a bunch of crooks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boranga's national animal is the Borangian monkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Boranga is ranked 54,517^th in the world and 1,501^st in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,070.59 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
