The Empire of B H A R A T is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by BINEET PATEL with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.344 billion B H A R A Tians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vishnupuram. The average income tax rate is 48.4%.

The frighteningly efficient B H A R A Tian economy, worth 219 trillion Mohars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 163,367 Mohars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, cremation is compulsory for the deceased, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and the skeletons of lost tourists litter the ground of the Great B H A R A Tian Desert. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. B H A R A T's national animal is the Peacock, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is HINDUISM.

B H A R A T is ranked 88,911^th in the world and 3,877^th in the South Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 64.67 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
