The Armed State of Barxa

“Wassup Beijing”

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

The Armed State of Barxa is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Our Greatest Leader Ethan The Great with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.168 billion Barxans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Barxan economy, worth 769 trillion Barxan Ringgits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 184,698 Barxan Ringgits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 553,267 per year while the poor average 48,191, a ratio of 11.5 to 1.

Barxa is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, and tabloids coo over Our Greatest Leader Ethan The Great's expected child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barxa's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Barxa is ranked 16,452^nd in the world and 776^th in The North Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 129.28 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
