The Democratic Republic of Bharathvarsh is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.144 billion Bharathvasis 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bharathvarsh City. The average income tax rate is 81.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Bharathvarshian economy, worth a remarkable 4,614 trillion rupees a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 208,384 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Selling advanced CPUs to anti-Bharathvarshian terrorists is no chip on the government's shoulders, that which doesn't kill you can get you de-platformed, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and government contracted tax collectors often 'accidentally' over-charge citizens and skim the surplus. 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 320,946^th in the world and 4,555^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 0.4 average smiles per day.
