The Autonomous Region of Bardula is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Governor Morokov Alsiliyev with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.584 billion Bardulans 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Androszag. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Bardulan economy, worth 109 trillion Bardulan Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 30,546 Bardulan Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation leads Furballland in per capita stalking, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, nothing gets the party jumping like Governor Morokov Alsiliyev specifying how high, and the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bardula's national animal is the Kostrumavo Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Traditional Slavic Orthodox.

Bardula is ranked 155,014^th in the world and 7^th in Furballland for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,937.5 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
