The Empire of Bathera is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grand Baron Elam Ol'ced V with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.103 billion Batherans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bathera City. The average income tax rate is 87.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Batheran economy, worth a remarkable 2,786 trillion Baht a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 250,951 Baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Many politicians are in rehab for minor drug offenses, the Great Pyramid of Bathera City can be seen from miles away, torture is illegal, and the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Bathera's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Bathera is ranked 18,397^th in the world and 304^th in Europe for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,365.6 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
