The Republic of Bahrain- is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 5.418 billion Bahrain-ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 49.4%.

The powerhouse Bahrain-ian economy, worth 399 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,711 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary, supervisors in Bahrain- commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, school uniforms are compulsory, and students do more community service than homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bahrain-'s national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bahrain- is ranked 265,594^th in the world and 211^th in Countries of the World for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4.98 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
