The Armed State of Barxa is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Our Greatest Leader Ethan The Great with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.156 billion Barxans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Barxan economy, worth 767 trillion Barxan Ringgits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 184,644 Barxan Ringgits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 553,107 per year while the poor average 48,177, a ratio of 11.5 to 1.

The military has had its funding stripped back as the nation seeks a smaller role in international politics, maritime signalling has become tedious since only the Barxan flag can be displayed, freedom is never freely given — only when the alternative is too expensive, and people are turning themselves into worm food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barxa's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Barxa is ranked 204,611^th in the world and 5,119^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 41.17 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
