The Borderlands of Probablynotverygoodistan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 9.978 billion Probablynotverygoodistanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Proboblynotverygoodburg. The average income tax rate is 63.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Probablynotverygoodistanian economy, worth 835 trillion pluckies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,744 pluckies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations, a degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, only lightning has a chance of striking Leader twice, and in a desperate bid for cheap airfare Probablynotverygoodistanians can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Probablynotverygoodistan's national animal is the Dodo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Probablynotverygoodistan is ranked 25,567th in the world and 1,451st in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 84 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
