The Free Nation of Baetand is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Minister Scott Clark-Duran with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, ubiquitous missile silos, and national health service. The compassionate population of 4.952 billion Baetandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artemis. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baetandian economy, worth 740 trillion Ores a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,518 Ores, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grandiose stage parents insist superyachts and private cinemas are children's basic needs, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, the atmosphere in Baetandian boardrooms is turning more gay, and most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baetand's national animal is the Rook, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Baetand is ranked 10,350^th in the world and 608^th in Osiris for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,783.14 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
