The Armed State of Barxa is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Our Greatest Leader Ethan The Great with an even hand, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.065 billion Barxans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Barxan economy, worth 720 trillion Barxan Ringgits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 177,142 Barxan Ringgits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 911,600 per year while the poor average 18,801, a ratio of 48.5 to 1.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, international war crimes are good for business and business is booming, forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, and serial killers share cells with serial jaywalkers.

Barxa's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Barxa is ranked 38,834^th in the world and 1,331^st in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
