The Kingdom of The Barad Dur is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 647 million Orcs 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Doom. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Orcish economy, worth 72.3 trillion Mirians a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 111,821 Mirians, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

The price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas, panels from bankrupt rooftop solar companies are used as props for sci-fi B-movies, and it is illegal to carry an umbrella when the official weather forecast predicts a sunny day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Barad Dur's national animal is the Warg, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Barad Dur is ranked 82,564^th in the world and 1^st in Glungasino for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,996.13 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
