The Republic of Battam is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 9.114 billion Battamians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 43.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Battamian economy, worth 340 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 37,307 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Battam's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Battam is ranked 112,262^nd in the world and 1^st in the Republic of Togo for Highest Poor Incomes, with 28,026.84 Standard Monetary Units.
