The Republic of North Batica is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Alren Vos with an even hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 18.228 billion North Baticans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fontina. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient North Batican economy, worth a remarkable 2,128 trillion Batican Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,772 Batican Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is going green, Fontina University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, most ambassadors from North Batica retire only a few years after being appointed, and grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Batica's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

North Batica is ranked 47,488^th in the world and 376^th in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 116,772.88 Standard Monetary Units.
