The Decepticon of Barricade is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 10.625 billion Barricades are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish Barricade economy, worth 318 trillion energons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 29,931 energons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and the nation's arms dealers guarantee discretion and untraceable transactions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barricade's national animal is the robot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Barricade is ranked 67,850th in the world and 2,441st in Suspicious for Most Stationary, with 698.26117116812 days.
