The Borderlands of Sandoe is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, flagrant waste-dumping, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 275 million Sandoeans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The all-consuming Sandoean economy, worth 22.5 trillion Dollars 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 Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 81,880 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, new urban roads are threatening city parks, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sandoe's national animal is the Chihuahua , which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sandoe is ranked 83,990^th in the world and 3^rd in VinCorp for Most Developed, scoring 66.16 on the Human Development Index.
