The State of Barbara C is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.125 billion Barbara Cians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 7.7%.

The very strong Barbara Cian economy, worth a remarkable 1,430 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 47,470 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and the government is slowly introducing social welfare programs. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Barbara C's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Barbara C is ranked 212,982^nd in the world and 8^th in Tonga for Most Primitive, scoring -91.1 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
