The Prince of Wales of Baltree is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by HE Sir Louis Mountbatten KB with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.338 billion Balishes are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sevenoaks. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.8%.

The all-consuming Baltreean economy, worth 862 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 103,469 Pound Sterlings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 354,374 per year while the poor average 22,192, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

A proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII', if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Baltreean satellites can detect it, politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems, and possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baltree's national animal is the Ram, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of England.

Baltree is ranked 202,744th in the world and 233rd in United Kingdom for Most Average, scoring 32.61 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
