The Collector Car Auction of Barrett-Jackson is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.252 billion Barrett-Jacksonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Barrett-Jacksonian economy, worth 422 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 99,311 lire, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 464,609 per year while the poor average 12,681, a ratio of 36.6 to 1.

Bad punctuation has come to a full stop, funeral mourners ridesharing with the deceased are encouraged to sit on the coffin to save room, the Barrett-Jackson Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and hospital administrators can usually be found scrubbing their floors with toothbrushes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barrett-Jackson's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Barrett-Jackson is ranked 160,094^th in the world and 1^st in Auto Auctions for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,095.51 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
