Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The De Facto Republic of Bardonia Islands is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by President Zorin and PM Vasilenkov with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 18.491 billion Bardonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bardansk. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Bardonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,572 trillion Bardonian Rubles a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,213 Bardonian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Finders keepers is the law of the land, government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, diplomats miss flights while wandering Bardansk Airport's endless art maze, and entomologists flock to Bardansk for its remarkable gadfly population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bardonia Islands's national animal is the White-tailed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Bardonia Islands is ranked 153,875^th in the world and 587^th in Europeia for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,317.82 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
