The Garden Shed Bonanza of Babar Rum is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Kees with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 3.313 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merveilleux. The average income tax rate is 79%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, students abandon classrooms for online education, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and major internet servers have acquired citizenship. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Babar Rum's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Ganache, and its currency is the Sachertorte.

Babar Rum is ranked 115th in NationStates and 20,869th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 160 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
