The Dictatorship of Barbaramonialand is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 816 million Barbaramonialandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.2%.

The Barbaramonialandian economy, worth 45.5 trillion skinwalkerias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 55,766 skinwalkerias, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

"The Daily Sacrifice" is a routine segment of morning news shows, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barbaramonialand's national animal is the skinwalker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Barbaramonialand is ranked 194,025^th in the world and 12^th in Yoyleland for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 44.26 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
