The Democratic Republic of Bharathvarsh is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.788 billion Bharathvasis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bharathvarsh City. The average income tax rate is 89.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Bharathvarshian economy, worth a remarkable 1,492 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,783 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Bharathvarshian beaches, nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high, only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote, and lions that venture near secret military bases are routinely executed for espionage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bharathvarsh's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bharathvarsh is ranked 154,580^th in the world and 7,992^nd in The North Pacific for Most Armed, with 0.13 Weapons Per Person.
