–OVERVIEW–

Baltusia is a linguistic, cultural, and ethnically diverse country inspired by the United States of America. Each of its five states takes broad cues from the major regions of the United States, from north, south, midwest, and southwest. Historically Baltusia was culturally open, based upon a much looser interpretation of the United States and was as it is today English-speaking, though it retained a diverse cultural mix through immigration by its neighbors. The majority of the population today is American, split among the traditional ethnic groups. Inspiration for Baltusia’s culture and politics obviously come from the United States.

Baltusia is a multilingual, multiethnic republic modeled after the United States of America. Each of its five states mirrors different U.S. regions—north, south, midwest, and southwest. English dominates culturally, yet Baltusia thrives on diversity shaped by waves of immigration and hybrid identities that blend Luthorian, Dundorfian, Valruzian, and Gao-Showan roots into a uniquely cosmopolitan society.

Ethnicities - The majority of Baltusians are of European descent, primarily Luthorian (English American), Dundorfian (German American), and Valruzian (Polish American). Substantial Pensio (Hispanic/Latino), Gao-Showan (Asian), Mashacara (Native), and Black Baltusian communities contribute to its dynamic social fabric.

Religions - Hosianism (Christianity) remains the majority faith in Baltusia, dominated by Luthoran (Protestant) and Aurorian Patriarchal (Catholic) traditions. A large secular population coexists with Ahmadism (Islam), Yeudism (Judaism), and smaller minorities, reflecting the pluralism of modern Baltusian society.

Languages - Luthorian (English) is Baltusia’s primary language and a key unifying force. Dundorfian (German), Valruzian (Polish), Egelian (Spanish), Istalian (Italian), and Gao-Showan languages are also spoken regionally by diaspora and heritage communities.
