The State of Young Baldr is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.558 billion Young Baldrians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The strong Young Baldrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,270 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. Average income is 64,950 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 441,581 per year while the poor average 3,489, a ratio of 126 to 1.
