The Queen's State of Barcello is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.421 billion Barcelloans are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.
The medium-sized, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.0%.
The very strong Barcelloan economy, worth a remarkable 1,069 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 35,169 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.
Voting is voluntary, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Barcello's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Barcello is ranked 139,867th in the world and 5th in Saint Lucia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 689.87 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
