The Free Land of Barbartopia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.276 billion Barbartopians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 40.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Barbartopian economy, worth 480 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,135 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Helicopter parenting is on the rise, having skeletons in one's closet is no longer just a macabre idiom, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, and caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Barbartopia's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Barbartopia is ranked 87,124^th in the world and 7^th in The Imperial Union of Order States for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 93.23 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
