The De Facto Republic of Bardonia Islands is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by President Zorin and PM Vasilenkov with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 18.524 billion Bardonians 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 Bardansk. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Bardonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,607 trillion Bardonian Rubles a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,737 Bardonian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet, and starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta. 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 White-tailed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Bardonia Islands is ranked 267,065^th in the world and 1,179^th in Europeia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.63 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
