The Freed Colony of New Baltic States is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Jack Mason with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The cynical, devout population of 1.907 billion New Baltic Statesmen 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tartu. The average income tax rate is 59.1%.

The frighteningly efficient New Baltic Statesian economy, worth 261 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,107 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

A video of Jack Mason wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, complaining about Christmas music in October is a ho-ho-horrendous crime, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, and the sun now sets on the New Baltic Statesian Empire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Baltic States's national animal is the The Black Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

New Baltic States is ranked 204,663rd in the world and 106th in MHBs New Earth for Most Extreme, scoring 14.77 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
