The Kingdom of Bari is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Hiram I with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, triple-decker prams, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.638 billion Barisans 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Theopolis. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Barisan economy, worth a remarkable 3,427 trillion Barisan nobles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,098 Barisan nobles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Governments opposing Bari are beset by rebels, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, women who display their ankles are shunned by society, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bari's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.
Bari is ranked 4,616th in the world and 2nd in Atlas for Most Stationary, with 3,371.6645088 days.
