The Armed State of Barxa is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Our Greatest Leader Ethan The Great with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.149 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 Industry, Education, 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 56.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Barxan economy, worth 770 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 185,753 Barxan Ringgits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 551,488 per year while the poor average 49,082, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.
Savvy nightclub-goers know that structurally unsound venues sell the cheapest drinks, public ferries only carry enough lifeboats for the first-class passengers, the most common doctor's prescription is "get out of my consulting room", and red text rains down on the head of anyone who dares to step out of line (Barxa has found 3 easter eggs). 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 170,785th in the world and 3,748th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 237.76 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
