The Republic of BARC Trooper 1 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 1.409 billion BARC Trooper 1ians 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 enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient BARC Trooper 1ian economy, worth 43.9 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,148 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The BARC Trooper 1 City Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District, owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, comatose jurors are the defense's favorite, and the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BARC Trooper 1's national animal is the Droid.

BARC Trooper 1 is ranked 81,917^th in the world and 1,054^th in eta for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
