The State of Barrberra is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.487 billion Barrberrans 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The strong Barrberran economy, worth 795 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 48,275 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 311,137 per year while the poor average 3,026, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The government is reining in public spending and Barrberra has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Barrberra's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Barrberra is ranked 235,898^th in the world and 8^th in Imperial Prussia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -4.69 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
