The Most Serene Republic of Barfleur is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Andreas Bellotti with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed population of 12.411 billion Barfleurians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Hogue. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Barfleurian economy, worth a remarkable 3,748 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 302,008 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Washing-up liquid looks and smells like baby poo, several inches are being added to first class seating, woke teenagers spontaneously burst into tears when thinking about the world's woes, and Barfleur is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barfleur's national animal is the ram, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Barfleur is ranked 25,313^th in the world and 333^rd in The East Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 46.87 flags saluted per person per day.
