The Armed Republic of Bharatian is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Admiral Martial with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ritual sacrifices, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.196 billion Bharatianians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great City of Virtue. The average income tax rate is 56.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Bharatianian economy, worth 289 trillion Deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,718 Deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in Bharatian, the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, and the stratosphere is full of "silent but deadly" attacks from Grand Admiral Martial's rear echelons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bharatian's national animal is the Goldern Orangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Duvtra.
Bharatian is ranked 236,465th in the world and 9,008th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 17.11 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
