OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The State of Barje is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.776 billion Barjeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Public Transport, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The strong Barjean economy, worth 605 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 47,417 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 305,611 per year while the poor average 2,972, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, Barje has designated Westminster as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Barje in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Barje's national animal is the deer.

Barje is ranked 27,129th in the world and 5th in An Alternate World for Most Stationary, with 1,433.29320074732 days.
