The Red Rising Sun of Barapam is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Artyom Asano with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.765 billion Barapamians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sun-Sin City. The average income tax rate is 45.0%.
The all-consuming Barapamian economy, worth a remarkable 4,249 trillion ¥¥¥s a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 204,668 ¥¥¥s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.
Scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards, Artyom Asano's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barapam's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tengrism.
Barapam is ranked 15,917th in the world and 4th in Slavija for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
