The Republic of Borgondilim is a mid-sized, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 67 million Borgondilimians 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 Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 12.0%.

The very strong Borgondilimian economy, worth 4.05 trillion Provincial Talers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 60,433 Provincial Talers, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

War memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, professional athletes juggle part-time jobs to avoid bankruptcy, and newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government. Crime is relatively low. Borgondilim's national animal is the Provincial Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Borgondilim is ranked 20,513^th in the world and 1^st in Urcea for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,092.75 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
