The Kingdom of Batac is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 1.017 billion Batacians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 24.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Batacian economy, worth 35.6 trillion Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,990 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

More money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, cars are banned, organ donation is compulsory, and Pythons are considered a delicacy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Batac's national animal is the Python, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Batac is ranked 125,760^th in the world and 7^th in The New Republic of the Philippines for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,440.21 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
