The Empire of Bathera is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Baron Elam Ol'ced VI with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 14.879 billion Batherans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bathera City. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Batheran economy, worth a remarkable 3,491 trillion Baht a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 234,677 Baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Regional governors use national law books as toilet paper, an epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, and convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bathera's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Bathera is ranked 44,085th in the world and 121st in Europe for Most Stationary, with 1,001.00600518908 days.
