The Dominion of Barrowman is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.149 billion Barrowmanians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The very strong Barrowmanian economy, worth 60.0 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 52,257 aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 191,039 per year while the poor average 10,139, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Barrowman's national animal is the bovina.

Barrowman is ranked 38,480^th in the world and 1^st in Torchwood for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,171.95 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
