The Beautiful Republic of Barra e Janeiro is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 25.128 billion Barranoes enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barra. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Barra e Janeiroan economy, worth a remarkable 1,328 trillion Reais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is 52,878 Reais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, people regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed, and Barra e Janeiro has designated Barra as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barra e Janeiro's national animal is the Arara.

Barra e Janeiro is ranked 94,623^rd in the world and 15^th in Emirates of Futurnia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
