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, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 18.32 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 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient North Batican economy, worth a remarkable 2,143 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 117,029 Batican Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, sweat stains are proof of political acumen, priests are being drafted by the church load, and the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses. 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 293,518^th in the world and 693^rd in Europe for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 17,203.29 Standard Monetary Units.
