The Democratic Republic of Bharathvarsh is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.077 billion Bharathvasis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bharathvarsh City. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bharathvarshian economy, worth a remarkable 3,351 trillion rupees a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 196,234 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, time flies when you're not having fun, and the army consists of only generals and grunts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bharathvarsh's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bharathvarsh is ranked 2,401^st in the world and 124^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 758.78 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
