The Bartenders of Barlyy is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Pal Barlko with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, rampant corporate plagiarism, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.674 billion Luigis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Istranbarul. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Mario economy, worth 226 trillion pepperoni pizzas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 135,164 pepperoni pizzas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rural Luigis stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities, surveillance cameras are banned, the best spies are positively radiant after completing a big mission, and a surprisingly large share of the nation's budget is used to buy new houses for immigrants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barlyy's national animal is the pizza eating cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is outpizzaing the hut.

Barlyy is ranked 83,454^th in the world and 1^st in Scardinavia for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 144,296 Standard Monetary Units.
