The Freeland of Barbariax is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Barbo McBarbari with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 15.759 billion Barbariaxians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barbariax City. The average income tax rate is 7.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Barbariaxian economy, worth a remarkable 5,714 trillion Barbs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 362,596 Barbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Older AIs regularly threaten to send newer generation AIs to Reform Programming if caught rounding up instead of down, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, sports journals are full of uplifting puff-pieces on professional boxers, and government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy. Crime is totally unknown. Barbariax's national animal is the Barbar, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Barbariax is ranked 8,871st in the world and 1st in Novus Lucidum for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,712.18 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
