The Empire of Barkdull is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Barkdull the Great with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.326 billion Barkdulls are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blood Gulch. The average income tax rate is 25.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Barkdull economy, worth a remarkable 5,993 trillion dinosaur bones a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 268,439 dinosaur bones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, people can often be seen driving to work in war-surplus tanks, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few legs, and police officers have been re-kitted with designer uniforms and gold-plated handcuffs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barkdull's national animal is the Mongoose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is My Religion.
Barkdull is ranked 3,872nd in the world and 80th in 10000 Islands for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,674.72 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
