The Woodhouse Sanctum of Empty Barmy is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The quiet, industrious population of 30.272 billion Empty Barmyians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.9%.

The strong Empty Barmyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,011 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 66,438 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, Empty Barmyian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, and the fattest folk in Empty Barmy look to be the happiest ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empty Barmy's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Empty Barmy is ranked 233,043^rd in the world and 1^st in The National Bolshevik Party for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.32 percentage of bribes refused.
