The Armed Islamic State of Barxa is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Our Greatest Leader Ethan The Great with an even hand, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.957 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, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astana. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Barxan economy, worth 655 trillion Barxan Dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 165,728 Barxan Dinars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 901,400 per year while the poor average 15,665, a ratio of 57.5 to 1.

Homosexuality has been banned to prevent the spread of homosexuality, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, and nerdy teenagers have to prove that they're made of the same stuff as their grandparents. 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 soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Barxa is ranked 196,674th in the world and 3,576th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 51.95654313668 days.
