The Free Land of Borehole is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 572 million Boreholeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of JUYET. The average income tax rate is 28.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Boreholean economy, worth 69.7 trillion BRCS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,808 BRCS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Entomologists flock to JUYET for its remarkable gadfly population, the government is spending millions on lawyers' fees trying to get Leader off a murder charge, decongestants have replaced BRCS in street transactions, and international tensions are high as Borehole threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Borehole's national animal is the Bore Eagle 🦅, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Borehole is ranked 44,079^th in the world and 866^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 121,808.73 Standard Monetary Units.
