The National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Albert Spalding with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.739 billion baseball players enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The powerhouse major league economy, worth 249 trillion baseballs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 90,980 baseballs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 543,446 per year while the poor average 6,940, a ratio of 78.3 to 1.

Court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, bounty hunters have been dispatched to hunt down rogue bounty hunters, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Professional Base Ball Clubs's national animal is the bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Church of Baseball.

Professional Base Ball Clubs is ranked 78,861^st in the world and 63^rd in Mitteleuropa for Most Patriotic, with 23.1 flags saluted per person per day.
