The Federal monarchy of Barinive is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Johnathian Atherai with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.172 billion Bariniveans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaliningrad. The average income tax rate is 28.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Barinivean economy, worth 318 trillion Monetary Units a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 146,693 Monetary Units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", commercials are consistently recorded in soft white rooms, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Barinive's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hazbin Hotel Husker fan club.

Barinive is ranked 76,722nd in the world and 1,404th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 222,199 Standard Monetary Units.
