The Northern Batangueño Republic of Realm of Maria Clara and Maria Dragona is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Levi Touflan Cortéz with an iron fist, and renowned for its vat-grown people, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 1.16 billion Northern Batangueños are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Talisay. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Batangueño economy, worth 173 trillion Batangueño bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 149,246 Batangueño bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government defends a woman's right to choose, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Realm of Maria Clara and Maria Dragona's national animal is the Batangan horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Touflanism.

Realm of Maria Clara and Maria Dragona is ranked 25,032^nd in the world and 367^th in NationStates for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 4,676.9 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
