“State”

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

The State of Bilad ul Barbar is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 18.132 billion Bilad ul Barbarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Bilad ul Barbarian economy, worth 74.9 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 4,131 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, military spending is on the increase, Bilad ul Barbar has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Bilad ul Barbar in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bilad ul Barbar's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bilad ul Barbar is ranked 254,946^th in the world and 8^th in Mogadishu for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -6.56 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
