The Sultanate of Barrackaland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sultan Miraç-Abdülkadir Özdemir I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.945 billion Barracki are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nantür. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Barrackish economy, worth 691 trillion Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,740 Lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 397,814 per year while the poor average 39,164, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

The stratosphere is full of "silent but deadly" attacks from Sultan Miraç-Abdülkadir Özdemir I's rear echelons, protesters against the government are hanged as a warning to others, Sultan Miraç-Abdülkadir Özdemir I is described as an everyday person with normal tastes and the usual interests, and perverts across the land rejoice after 'sexual harassment' was recently renamed 'persuasive courting'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barrackaland's national animal is the White Swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Yellowism.

Barrackaland is ranked 206,753rd in the world and 6,955th in Lazarus for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
