The Commonwealth of Baronlands is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning Bear population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 313 million Baronlandsians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Baronlandsian economy, worth 10.7 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,331 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, school uniforms are compulsory, the invisible hand of the market wipes babies' bottoms, and bike rage is all the rage. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baronlands's national animal is the Bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Baronlands is ranked 169,648^th in the world and 62^nd in Anteria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 342.53 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
