The Freed Colony of New Baltic States is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Jack Mason with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.963 billion New Baltic Statesmen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tartu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.8%.

The frighteningly efficient New Baltic Statesian economy, worth 269 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,186 Euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 531,531 per year while the poor average 24,267, a ratio of 21.9 to 1.

Immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites, war vets look after war animals, livestock mutilations are on the rise, and a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Baltic States's national animal is the The Black Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

New Baltic States is ranked 59,154^th in the world and 32^nd in MHBs New Earth for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,574.96 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
