The Holy Empire of Barrog is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning squirrel population. The hard-working population of 3.768 billion Barrogians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 12.0%.

The Barrogian economy, worth 195 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 51,828 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barrog's national animal is the squirrel.

Barrog is ranked 161,925^th in the world and 6^th in Abandoned Branch for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 32.69 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
