The Principality of Bareu is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prince Charles II with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 13.443 billion Bareuans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lübeek. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bareuan economy, worth a remarkable 2,350 trillion Bareuan Kronor a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,867 Bareuan Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Lübeek Times is sold out, and bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bareu's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bareu is ranked 32,136^th in the world and 439^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,099.85 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
