The Moonrunners World of Barmaid is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its enforced nudity, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 32.823 billion TORCians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The thriving Barmaidian economy, worth a remarkable 1,312 trillion Tips a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 39,980 Tips, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 125,572 per year while the poor average 9,746, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, cities are engulfed by smog, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Moon. Crime is a problem. Barmaid's national animal is the Lounge lizard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Barmaid is ranked 240,529^th in the world and 3^rd in Moonrunners for Safest, scoring 36.19 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
