The Socialist Democratic Monarch of Of Barkarosa is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 776 million Barkarosans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hellenstiner City. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Barkarosan economy, worth 80.3 trillion Barkarosan Ruppeans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 103,431 Barkarosan Ruppeans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and research grant proposals read like political diatribes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Of Barkarosa's national animal is the Shiba Inu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Of Barkarosa is ranked 21,052^nd in the world and 650^th in the South Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 10.15 bananas ingested per day.
