| - __TOC__ Barrayar is a temperate planet that was long lost to the majority of civilization due to the collapse of a wormhole. Fairly recently rediscovered, it is feeling its way through the stages of reintegration with galactic society.
- Barrayar was a planet historically in Wild Space between the Unknown Regions and the borders of the Galactic Republic within the Outer Rim Territories. The native population of the planet was virtually entirely composed of humans throughout most of its history.
- The Imperium of Barrayar, also known as "Empire of Barrayar" or simply "Barrayar," is an interstellar , interplanetary state composed of the planets Barrayar, Komarr, and Sergyar. It was created during the rule of the Barrayaran Emperor Ezar Vorbarra. Its main planet is Barrayar. Politically, the Imperium of Barrayar is an absolute monarchy with hereditary succession. Its governmental system is largely unwritten, and is largely based on oaths. The sixty District Counts form the Council of Counts, which largely controls the Imperium finances. There is also a Council of Ministers which controls the executive functions of the government, and other formal and informal advisers to the Emperor.
- Barrayar was a planet in the Galactic Nexus with a single useable wormhole leading from it. It took five hops to reach its only immediate neighbor Komarr.
* Capital City: Vorbarr Sultana.
* Size/population: Barrayar itself had a relatively small population relative to other worlds settled by humans. The exact number is unknown, but there were known to be 60 Districts, each with a Count in charge, and some Districts, including Vorpatril's District, had populations measured in the millions. Thus, a total planetary population seems likely to have come out to somewhere between one and two hundred million. In addition, Barrayaran casualties during the Cetagandan occupation were described as being "about five million", which would be disastrous in a population of fifty million or less. Th

| abstract
| - __TOC__ Barrayar is a temperate planet that was long lost to the majority of civilization due to the collapse of a wormhole. Fairly recently rediscovered, it is feeling its way through the stages of reintegration with galactic society.
- Barrayar was a planet historically in Wild Space between the Unknown Regions and the borders of the Galactic Republic within the Outer Rim Territories. The native population of the planet was virtually entirely composed of humans throughout most of its history.
- Barrayar was a planet in the Galactic Nexus with a single useable wormhole leading from it. It took five hops to reach its only immediate neighbor Komarr.
* Capital City: Vorbarr Sultana.
* Size/population: Barrayar itself had a relatively small population relative to other worlds settled by humans. The exact number is unknown, but there were known to be 60 Districts, each with a Count in charge, and some Districts, including Vorpatril's District, had populations measured in the millions. Thus, a total planetary population seems likely to have come out to somewhere between one and two hundred million. In addition, Barrayaran casualties during the Cetagandan occupation were described as being "about five million", which would be disastrous in a population of fifty million or less. The original settlement of Barrayar consisted of about 50,000 people.
* Economy: Barrayar's planetary economy was mostly based upon agriculture, though the role of industry grew considerably since the Cetagandan Invasion. The Barrayaran Empire drew most of its revenue from trade passing through the wormholes in Komarran space. The economy was weak by the standards of many other planets: The currency of the planet was the Barrayaran Imperial Mark; in the earlier stories it was worth about a fifth of a Betan dollar, and in the later ones it was closer to one quarter of a Betan dollar (the Betan dollar was regarded as one of the hardest currencies in the Nexus).
* Government: Barrayar was the main planet of the Barrayaran Imperium, an absolute monarchy with hereditary succession. Its governmental system was largely unwritten and based on oaths. The northern of the two continents (or at least the inhabited regions of it) was divided into sixty Districts, each governed by and named for a Count: for instance, Count Vorkosigan controlled Vorkosigan's District. The sixty Counts formed the Council of Counts, which met to judge cases among its members and to resolve conflicts between them, especially water-use disputes. There was also a Council of Ministers which controlled the executive functions of the government. The Council of Counts and the Council of Ministers combined to form the Joint Council; this group met regularly for budget decisions and to approve law codes. There were also appointed positions, such as Imperial Auditor and Chief of Imperial Security, as well.
* See Barrayaran Government for a more complete description.
- The Imperium of Barrayar, also known as "Empire of Barrayar" or simply "Barrayar," is an interstellar , interplanetary state composed of the planets Barrayar, Komarr, and Sergyar. It was created during the rule of the Barrayaran Emperor Ezar Vorbarra. Its main planet is Barrayar. Politically, the Imperium of Barrayar is an absolute monarchy with hereditary succession. Its governmental system is largely unwritten, and is largely based on oaths. The sixty District Counts form the Council of Counts, which largely controls the Imperium finances.
