The Sultanate of Barrackaland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sultan Miraç-Abdülkadir Özdemir I with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.875 billion Barracki 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 medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Attatürk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Barrackish economy, worth 674 trillion Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,399 Lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 393,998 per year while the poor average 38,788, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.
Government popup ads are springing up like weeds, freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, people who have lived their entire lives in Barrackaland are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, and toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barrackaland's national animal is the White Swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Yellowism.
Barrackaland is ranked 161,269th in the world and 6,427th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 257.83 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
