The Federal Autonomous States of Baltic Union is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.252 billion Baltic Citizens 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The a Baltic Citizen economy, worth 464 trillion Balzts a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,252 Balzts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, Leader has a wardrobe full of fake designer suits, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baltic Union's national animal is the Stork, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Baltic Union is ranked 170,603rd in the world and 4th in Historia Novorum for Most Stationary, with 99.20008928968 days.
