The Democratic Republic of The Batavia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Lars Alexanders with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 19.486 billion Batavians 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 medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Den Haag. The average income tax rate is 57.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Batavian economy, worth a remarkable 1,887 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,861 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Taxpayers receive expenditure reports from the Grand High Poobah of the Order of Violet, litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job, voters who forget their name are given a hint, and the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Batavia's national animal is the Dragon and its national religion is Secularism.

The Batavia is ranked 154,997^th in the world and 8,545^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 880.16 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
