Baltusia

The Republica Baltusia is a democratic republic in the north half of the continent of Seleya, bordered by Lodamun, Kalistan, Valruzia, Gaduridos and Tukarali. Since the establishment of a unified state, Baltusia had been ruled by a series of autocratic dictators. In 2039, Baltusia underwent a revolution bringing about the modern, democratic Baltusia and seeing a massive social and cultural shift. Its economy is that of a mixed economy, with socialist safety nets and otherwise laissez-faire capitalism, although this has not always been the way.

The Baltusian people are quiet, good-natured and laconic with an easy-going outlook on life and have a broad sense of humour. The nation has a strong academic tradition which can be traced back to the seventh century. Among the most sexually open people in the world, Baltusians have drawn criticism from both within and from without by more conservative commentators for being overly wanton and licentious.

The ethnic diversity of the nation, thanks to its open borders policy enacted in the 2050s, has given rise to a respectful and tolerant people. Baltusia's population is largely urban with around 85% of people living in one of the nation's twenty-four officially recognised cities. The remainder of the population are farmers, whose agricultural output forms the basis of the Baltusian economy.
