The Alchemist Republic of Baron lords is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Chairman Allen Durandel with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.578 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Al Revis Academy. The average income tax rate is 86%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Woodchip Exports and Automobile Manufacturing.

Euthanasia is illegal, eminent domain has been abolished, racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation, and politicians are to be found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baron lords's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Gil.

Baron lords is ranked 2,214th in Osiris and 84,111th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
