The République Barltave of Barlyy is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Gene Wilders from that movie with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avowedly heterosexual populace, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 8.344 billion Barlyyians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Barlyyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,572 trillion gozlemes 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 and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 308,246 gozlemes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, and every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barlyy's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Harry Kaneism.

Barlyy is ranked 2,502^nd in the world and 1^st in Ode to Barlyy for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 14,548.84 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
