The Borderlands of 1ii is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 19.078 billion iis are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 61.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse 1iian economy, worth a remarkable 1,787 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 93,710 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, dreams of replicator technology have been dashed following a ban on 3D printers, and the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1ii's national animal is the laughing swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

1ii is ranked 36,253^rd in the world and 1^st in Islamofascism for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
