The Borderlands of Xented Solka is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 619 million Xented Solkans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Несtоvillе. The average income tax rate is 17.5%.

The Xented Solkan economy, worth 31.9 trillion florins a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 51,504 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Coastal cities are being moved a dozen miles inland to reduce flooding risk, the weather in Несtоvillе is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', the nation is Corvinia's leading manufacturer of intricately-patterned sweaters, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Несtоvillе. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Xented Solka's national animal is the squirrel.

Xented Solka is ranked 89,756^th in the world and 5^th in Corvinia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,673.26 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
