The Kingdom of Bardonia Islands is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by HRH King Rogue with an even hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 14.691 billion Citizen of Bardonia are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bardonia City. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Bardonia Citizen economy, worth a remarkable 2,587 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,108 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, it's illegal to be caught on tape, 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, and atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bardonia Islands's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Bardonia Islands is ranked 46,440^th in the world and 291^st in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 33.46 flags saluted per person per day.
