The Allied Corporate Empire of Northern Borland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President and CEO with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 36.524 billion Northern Borlandians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Commerce City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Borlandian economy, worth an astonishing 39,413 trillion Greenbacks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 1,079,101 Greenbacks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,946,611 per year while the poor average 99,141, a ratio of 60.0 to 1.

Getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in Northern Borland, tabloids coo over President and CEO's expected child, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, and the nation leads Capitalist Paradise in per capita stalking. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Northern Borland's national animal is the Buck, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Northern Borland is ranked 239,901^st in the world and 324^th in Capitalist Paradise for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring -114.76 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
