The Republic of Barbados is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning StingyRay population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 29.855 billion Barbadosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 23.6%.

The Barbadosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,307 trillion Barbs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 43,795 Barbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Barbados's national animal is the StingyRay, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Barbados is ranked 107,849^th in the world and 2^nd in Real Places for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 33.26 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
