The Territorial Area of Barberza is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, devout population of 2.249 billion Barberzans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chairtown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.3%.

The powerhouse Barberzan economy, worth 218 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,045 Imperial Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 297,359 per year while the poor average 24,516, a ratio of 12.1 to 1.

Representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", and buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barberza's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Barberza is ranked 197,502^nd in the world and 1^st in Jungles for Largest Populations, with 2.25 billion capita.
