The Kingdom of Batavie is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Wilhelmina with an even hand, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.954 billion Batavieans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Willem Stad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Bataviean economy, worth a remarkable 1,071 trillion Guldens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 179,955 Guldens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 600,950 per year while the poor average 40,089, a ratio of 15.0 to 1.

Equality looks curiously unequal, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, endocrinology is a rapidly growing field of study, and the year's most anticipated show is "Great Deals on Delicious Meals". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Batavie's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Calvinism.

Batavie is ranked 12,521^st in the world and 9^th in The Commonwealth Society for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
