The Major League of Baseball is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its closed borders, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 25.932 billion Baseballers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Motor City. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Baseballian economy, worth a remarkable 2,088 trillion Seams a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,543 Seams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

At the edge of the final frontier space's biggest missile platform is about to unfold, children are brutally beaten for saying gyatt and skibidi, unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days, and scientists have great chemistry with their subjects. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baseball's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Baseball is ranked 250,699^th in the world and 2^nd in Satoshi for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 25.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
