The People's Republic of BarbeeLand is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 124 million BarbeeLandians 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 Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong BarbeeLandian economy, worth 8.44 trillion Barbcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,063 Barbcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Leader can cry on demand, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, code enforcement officers circle wealthy BarbeeLandians like vultures, and citizens who refuse to vote are guillotined. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. BarbeeLand's national animal is the Bibble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BarbeeLand is ranked 221,654^th in the world and 4,409^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
