The State of Bhariat is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 6.722 billion Bhariatians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 18.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Bhariatian economy, worth 255 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,043 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, euthanasia is legal, Bhariat has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Bhariat in an international press conference. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bhariat's national animal is the deer.

Bhariat is ranked 221,524^th in the world and 6^th in The Realm of Freedom for Highest Food Quality, scoring 10.11 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
