The Confederation of Baltic Peoples is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by the All-Confederation Council Assembly with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.559 billion Baltics are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Associated Councils of Baliaumic. The average income tax rate is 63.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Baltic economy, worth 144 trillion Average Need Satisfaction Index units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 92,759 Average Need Satisfaction Index units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Last minute own-goals raise the suspicious eyebrows of sporting authorities, social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life. Crime is relatively low. Baltic Peoples's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Finding God to Abolish Them.

Baltic Peoples is ranked 277,182nd in the world and 163rd in Anarchy for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -11.24 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
