The Kingdom of Bardopia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Bard the first of His name with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, digital currency, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.254 billion Bardopians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bardopolis. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bardopian economy, worth 402 trillion Bardollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,734 Bardollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, asking what someone does for a living is considered a faux pax for being potentially jobist, and the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bardopia's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bardism.

Bardopia is ranked 299,727th in the world and 8,571st in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -364.01 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
