The Allied Corporate Empire of Northern Borland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President and CEO with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 31.85 billion Northern Borlandians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken 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 31,782 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 997,873 Greenbacks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,563,142 per year while the poor average 89,361, a ratio of 62.3 to 1.

Artificial intelligences seeking exciting work are overcome with ennui, the government prefers to kill off its enemies by peaceful means, the nation is famous for having one of the world's largest Buck hunting institutions, and it is said that a Northern Borlandian woman's work is never done. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Northern Borland's national animal is the Buck, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Northern Borland is ranked 66^th in the world and 1^st in Capitalist Paradise for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 63,050.54 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
