The Constitutional Monarchy of Barkorth

“And Now for Something Completely Different”

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

The Constitutional Monarchy of Barkorth is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kyle Katarn with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.068 billion Barkorthians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jacinto. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Barkorthian economy, worth 74.0 trillion yen a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is 69,268 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When you fly on Air Barkorth you win a seat or you die, nobody knows why the caged dingo sings, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Kyle Katarn to meetings with foreign heads of state, and Kyle Katarn has just been declared ruler of Barkorth in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barkorth's national animal is the dingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Barkorth is ranked 26,076^th in the world and 861^st in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,978.07 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
