The Empire of Bardonno is a massive, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.926 billion Bardonnoans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bardonno City. The average income tax rate is 22.5%.

The Bardonnoan economy, worth 97.2 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 50,453 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech, the government is under the thumb of countless special interests, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime is well under control. Bardonno's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bardonno is ranked 124,949^th in the world and 2,603^rd in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 25,408.11 Standard Monetary Units.
