The Precious Gemnation of Bharczlilhiaz is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Catarina Darklight with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.511 billion Bharczlilhiazians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mysticia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bharczlilhiazian economy, worth a remarkable 3,643 trillion Black Opals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 346,602 Black Opals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others, clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, and being Catarina Darklight has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs. Crime is totally unknown. Bharczlilhiaz's national animal is the Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Books.

Bharczlilhiaz is ranked 290,514^th in the world and 30^th in Jeinnhezslhaunia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -29.02 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
