The Calculus Worshippers of Barlyy is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mustafa Verşan Kök with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, anti-smoking policies, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.128 billion Barlyyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ODTÜ Northern Campus. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Barlyyian economy, worth 909 trillion Markkaa a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 220,428 Markkaa, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage, criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids, and the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barlyy's national animal is the proud seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Barlyy is ranked 1,896^th in the world and 1^st in Konglomera for Smartest Citizens, with 185.64 quips per hour.
