The Republic of BASEBALL RULES 12 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema and restrictive gun laws. The quiet, industrious population of 4.094 billion BASEBALL RULES 12ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, although Spirituality, Education, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid and Industry receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 22.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient BASEBALL RULES 12ian economy, worth 146 trillion Baseballs a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,632 Baseballs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

People are turning themselves into worm food, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, and black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BASEBALL RULES 12's national animal is the dog, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

BASEBALL RULES 12 is ranked 204,087^th in the world and 6^th in Crystal Falls for Rudest Citizens, with 38.92 insults per minute.
