The Allied Corporate Empire of Northern Borland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President and CEO with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 36.082 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 38,709 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 1,072,811 Greenbacks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,549,308 per year while the poor average 112,677, a ratio of 49.2 to 1.

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, burgers often list "miscellaneous meats" in their ingredients, the nation was recently voted as the most stylish in Capitalist Paradise, and President and CEO's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies. 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 241,533^rd in the world and 338^th in Capitalist Paradise for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -103.25 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
