The Most Serene Social Republic of Battadia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Hermann Schlott with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ban on automobiles, and digital currency. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.268 billion Battadians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saydt. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Battadian economy, worth a remarkable 3,837 trillion guiders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an amazing 312,820 guiders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolyard bullying has a tendency to escalate, some people will do literally anything to be in the spotlight, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and when their backs are against the walls Battadians look out for gay men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Battadia's national animal is the bee, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Battadia is ranked 330,475^th in the world and 199^th in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -20.24 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
