The Empire of Bathera is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Baron Elam Ol'ced VI with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.192 billion Batherans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bathera City. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Batheran economy, worth a remarkable 3,209 trillion Baht a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 226,165 Baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, feeling like a winner comes at a price, Grand Baron Elam Ol'ced VI panders to nontraditional families, and the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bathera's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Bathera is ranked 282,928^th in the world and 1,450^th in Europe for Most Secular, with 0.84 Atheism Rate.
