The Romantic Chess Players of Barlyy is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Teimour Radjabov with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.393 billion Barlyyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ODTÜ Northern Campus. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Barlyyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,011 trillion Pringles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 230,251 Pringles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and illegal hunting is rife after veganism was recently made compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barlyy's national animal is the proud seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Barlyy is ranked 509^th in the world and 1^st in Konglomera for Least Corrupt Governments, with 98.29 percentage of bribes refused.
