The Armed State of Barxa is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Our Greatest Leader Ethan The Great with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.076 billion Barxans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Barxan economy, worth 745 trillion Barxan Ringgits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 182,925 Barxan Ringgits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 753,864 per year while the poor average 29,223, a ratio of 25.8 to 1.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, the government denies that it has an agency overseeing plausible deniability of black-ops agencies, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, and they say that Barxans made a dessert and called it peace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barxa's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Barxa is ranked 51,817^th in the world and 670^th in The North Pacific for Most Armed, with 2.06 weapons per person.
