The Grand Pegasus Protectorate of New Baltimare is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by The Protectorate High Council with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 5.181 billion Enclave Ponies are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Baltimare. The average income tax rate is 82.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baltimarean economy, worth 634 trillion Pre-war Bits a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,522 Pre-war Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retail stores have reported mile-long lines after the ban on video games was lifted, some say that The Protectorate High Council can't handle the truth but can handle truth-seekers, children's toy tractors have been seized as state property, and the New Baltimare State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Baltimare's national animal is the Pegasus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

New Baltimare is ranked 42,376^th in the world and 18^th in Equestria for Highest Average Incomes, with 122,522.1 Standard Monetary Units.
