The Federation of Pribaltic Union is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Richard Seregton with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 843 million pribalts 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sándan. The average income tax rate is 60.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pribaltic economy, worth 79.7 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,589 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Sexuality-questioning teenagers are placed in locked rooms with dirty magazines and lewd posters, the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, concerned environmentalists wipe away their tears with tissues sourced from Tasmanian old-growth redwoods, and the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pribaltic Union's national animal is the bittern, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pribaltic Union is ranked 28,371^st in the world and 924^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,595.01 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
