The Borderlands of N2002 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.964 billion N2002ians 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, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.2%.

The frighteningly efficient N2002ian economy, worth 882 trillion nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 147,904 nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house, for just a few extra nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns N2002ians can get new driving records with their new cars, child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed, and foreign policy is based upon the principle of sieve and take. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. N2002's national animal is the nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

N2002 is ranked 26,366^th in the world and 1,784^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
