The Dominion of Great Baltic Empire is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.77 billion Baltics are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Great Baltic Empirean economy, worth 731 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,041 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, supermarkets must refund spoilt milk even six months after the sale, and calling out of the blue has become taboo. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Baltic Empire's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Great Baltic Empire is ranked 20,775^th in the world and 1^st in Great Commonwealth of the Midgard for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 73.12 Effective Tax Rate.
