The Pagan Authoritarian Republic of Baltican Union is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Adolfas Makebelts with an iron fist, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.007 billion Baltican's are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riga. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baltican economy, worth a remarkable 1,892 trillion BaltMarks a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 126,078 BaltMarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Female restaurant chefs are not allowed to have male customers, theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, and sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baltican Union's national animal is the Reindeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Baltic Paganism.

Baltican Union is ranked 5,363^rd in the world and 1^st in Western Africa for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 4,380.89 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
