The State of Barranca is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 29.979 billion Barrancans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.9%.

The powerhouse Barrancan economy, worth a remarkable 1,272 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 42,444 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 144,873 per year while the poor average 9,150, a ratio of 15.8 to 1.

The government is avowedly atheist, the tenet of free speech is held dear, all tariffs have been abolished, and Barranca has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem. Barranca's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Barranca is ranked 159,210^th in the world and 1^st in Barranca for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.1 percentage of bribes refused.
