The Federation of Batahara is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Sota Mota with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 788 million Bataharanians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soteggie. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Bataharan economy, worth 67.0 trillion Boots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 85,062 Boots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, nations that kill a Bataharanian can expect a strongly worded letter, teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, and pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Batahara's national animal is the Kilgomit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Batahara is ranked 21,812^th in the world and 688^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 952.83 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
