The Bannorn of Barca is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Bann Larus vos Hannos with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.802 billion Barcans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The strong Barcan economy, worth 630 trillion kamas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Average income is 71,618 kamas, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, meat-eating is frowned upon, student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come, and the nation gives peace a chance - usually one in a million. Crime is well under control. Barca's national animal is the nightingale, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Barca is ranked 283,845^th in the world and 15^th in Ulthos for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -4.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
