The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Barateh is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Averi with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.145 billion Baratehians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baratehian economy, worth 563 trillion Kronor 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 dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 135,898 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

State dairy cow's milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, not all rivers run to the sea, and all the cool kids have tetanus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barateh's national animal is the silly little kittens and kitty's, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Scientology.

Barateh is ranked 11,290^th in the world and 217^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 118,469.8 Standard Monetary Units.
