The Boundless Vault of Batroc the Leaper is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 21.634 billion Leaper Messiahs are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Batroc the Leaperian economy, worth 385 trillion old shoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Cheese Exports, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 17,820 old shoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Batroc the Leaper's national animal is the savateur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Batroc the Leaper is ranked 6,693rd in the world and 35th in United States for Most Stationary, with 2,859.92770436732 days.
