The Principality of Battenhaus is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 3.836 billion Battenhausians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.1%.

The very strong Battenhausian economy, worth 237 trillion aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 62,002 aurums, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Battenhaus's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Battenhaus is ranked 7,912^th in the world and 1^st in Battenberg for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,069.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
