The Borderlands of Chrisfor is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning beaver population. The hard-working, democratic population of 29.602 billion Chrisforians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 22.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Chrisforian economy, worth a remarkable 1,304 trillion Nuts a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 44,083 Nuts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Chrisfor's pristine beaches, Leader has just been declared ruler of Chrisfor in an international press conference, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, and a major religion has been named as Chrisfor's national religion. Crime is relatively low. Chrisfor's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chrisfor is ranked 31,288^th in the world and 8^th in Yorkshire for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring zero on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
