The Most Serene Republic of BariaBaria is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate population of 287 million BariaBarians 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 Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brobaria. The average income tax rate is 29.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong BariaBarian economy, worth 22.4 trillion Crowbucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 78,149 Crowbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Army uniforms are replaced en masse to accommodate adult soldiers, the average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, and roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it. Crime is totally unknown. BariaBaria's national animal is the Koopa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BariaBaria is ranked 293,240^th in the world and 261^st in Sophia for Largest Black Market, with 21.2 billion Standard Monetary Units.
