The Waiting to CTE Nation of Barrow Cove is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by CUBCHOO with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.142 billion pineapples are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of United Cubchoo City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.5%.

The frighteningly efficient pineapplean economy, worth a remarkable 1,042 trillion Polar Pennieses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 202,659 Polar Pennieses, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.

A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, and CUBCHOO claims tax rises are the result of 'curses'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barrow Cove's national animal is the bisexual drugged penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is THE CHAIN.

Barrow Cove is ranked 9,116^th in the world and 3^rd in Callista for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,322.52 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
