The Commonwealth of Batcountry is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Duke with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.859 billion Batcountryians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lost Wages. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Batcountryian economy, worth 840 trillion tokes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 172,990 tokes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's never enough space in space, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, life is somewhat repetitive, and the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions. Crime is totally unknown. Batcountry's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Batcountry is ranked 21,113th in the world and 63rd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 5,122.34 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
