The Dharmasya Nation | Republic of India Bahru is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by State President Dylan Duncan with an even hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, unlimited-speed roads, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.59 billion Dharmans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delma. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Dharmasya People economy, worth a remarkable 1,246 trillion Ringgits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 271,611 Ringgits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and India Bahru has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. India Bahru's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hinduism.

India Bahru is ranked 2,798^th in the world and 1^st in Dharmasya for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 719.44 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
