The Lukewarm confabulation of Cardboard Barrels is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ħaraȫm Me'í with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.197 billion Nara'ᶴew 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 Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ko'el. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Nara'ᶴew economy, worth a remarkable 2,725 trillion Barrels 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 impressive 191,976 Barrels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If there's something strange in your neighborhood you call Brancaland, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers. Crime is totally unknown. Cardboard Barrels's national animal is the hispaniolan solenodon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cardboard Barrels is ranked 293,577^th in the world and 3^rd in Bonk for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 575.93 Standard Monetary Units.
