The Hijo de Iuno of Barredo is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by President Justyn White with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, aversion to nipples, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.188 billion Barredoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estela. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Barredoan economy, worth 871 trillion Doblas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 121,228 Doblas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's illegal to be caught on tape, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from President Justyn White's throne, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barredo's national animal is the Barredoan Condor, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Barredo is ranked 228,419th in the world and 26th in RGBN for Fattest Citizens, with 8.41 Obesity Rate.
