The Republic of North Batica is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Alren Vos with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 18.221 billion North Baticans 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 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 84.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient North Batican economy, worth a remarkable 2,116 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 116,134 Batican Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, public parks are littered with cigarette butts, 'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget, and holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects. 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 4,824^th in the world and 99^th in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,403.66 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
