The Big Money Molars of Barrow Cove is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Augustus Barrow with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, conspicuous electricity pylons, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 13.186 billion Barrons love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barrotta. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Barran economy, worth a remarkable 4,027 trillion Mormon Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 305,431 Mormon Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminal rehabilitation takes place in re-education centers, the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, birth rates have hit an all-time low, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barrow Cove's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bidoofaidominatum.

Barrow Cove is ranked 5,030^th in the world and 1^st in YELLINGREALLYLOUDLY for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 561.79 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
