The Federal Monarchy of Barinive is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Johnathian Atherai with a fair hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, aversion to nipples, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 6.314 billion Baranavichians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baranavichy. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baranavichian economy, worth a remarkable 1,284 trillion Baranavichian Rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 203,388 Baranavichian Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Emergency services don't respond to trailer park fires, tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, farting etiquette is taught in schools, and the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barinive's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Barinive is ranked 320,558^th in the world and 2,291^st in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 0.41 average smiles per day.
