The Borderlands of Northern Antarcticaland is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 40 million Antarcticans 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, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 4.0%.

The very strong Antarctican economy, worth 2.95 trillion ice cubes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 73,854 ice cubes, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Street gangs rule most of the nation's major cities, only the fast and the furious are brave enough to drive, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, and the nation's "surprisingly chill" military is renowned for its horrendous war crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Northern Antarcticaland's national animal is the robot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Northern Antarcticaland is ranked 275,268^th in the world and 16^th in Southcramento Empire for Safest, scoring 6.57 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
