The Most Serene Eco-Republic of Middle Barael is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Solomon and PM Marc Nuya with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, lack of airports, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.507 billion Baraelim are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scania. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The all-consuming Middle Baraelan economy, worth 550 trillion Shenars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 122,053 Shenars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie, parties that are too noisy are broken up to prevent disturbing wildlife, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Middle Barael's national animal is the Puma, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Omnism and Pluralism.

Middle Barael is ranked 77,627^th in the world and 90^th in Forest for Most Extreme, scoring 25.15 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
