The Federation of Pribaltic Union is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Richard Seregton with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 776 million pribalts 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sándan. The average income tax rate is 59.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pribaltic economy, worth 72.6 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,551 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, skateparks can be found in every city, baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks, and torture is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pribaltic Union's national animal is the bittern, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pribaltic Union is ranked 43,327^th in the world and 1,451^st in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
