The Principality of Bareu is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prince Charles IV with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and digital currency. The compassionate, cheerful population of 14.349 billion Bareuans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lübeek. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bareuan economy, worth a remarkable 2,461 trillion Bareuan Kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,555 Bareuan Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Lübeek Times is sold out, and bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bareu's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bareu is ranked 3,460^th in the world and 83^rd in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,877.61 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
