The United Republic of Baltenlands is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 10.48 billion Baltens 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baltia. The average income tax rate is 46.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Balten economy, worth 902 trillion lunes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 86,084 lunes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and aspiring authors begrudgingly help proofread issue submissions (Baltenlands has found 3 easter eggs). Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baltenlands's national animal is the predatory manatee, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Baltenlands is ranked 29,991st in the world and 1,621st in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 80 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
