The Grand Duchy of Baltikum is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Stadte with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 19.189 billion balticans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riga. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient baltic economy, worth a remarkable 4,009 trillion Baltic Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 208,925 Baltic Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Professional athletes can't see balls amid the deluge of advertisements, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and workers have their fruitcake and eat it too. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Baltikum's national animal is the Black eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Baltikum is ranked 278,154th in the world and 324th in KAISERREICH for Most Stationary, with 7.30709254568 days.
