The Most Serene Principality of Bareu is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prince Charles II with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.562 billion Bareuans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lübeek. The average income tax rate is 37.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bareuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,117 trillion Bareuan Kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 170,287 Bareuan Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, recognised healthcare professionals treat diabetes with a grain of sugar in a barrel of water, more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, and octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it. Crime is totally unknown. Bareu's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bareu is ranked 925^th in the world and 11^th in Europe for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 558.79 Bank.
