The Borderlands of DeadMemes is a massive, genial nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.027 billion DeadMemesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CapybaraIsla. The average income tax rate is 40.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The DeadMemesian economy, worth 61.1 trillion Dabloons 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 59,523 Dabloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that DeadMemes will pay them to stop, biological warfare is used to solve small disagreements, Leader has just been declared ruler of DeadMemes in an international press conference, and genetic research is temporarily tied up in government red tape. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DeadMemes's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

DeadMemes is ranked 67,036^th in the world and 1,456^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
