Baltica, formally the Republic of Baltica, is a country in Argis. Its capital is Goja, and it is ruled by a dictatorship lead by Algridas Banis.

Economy

Energy

Baltica has historically had a track record of poor energy production. Due to the vey high instability and consistent fighting between the German Balts and the Regular Balts, multiple so called “mega projects” have been abandoned due to the government's failure to secure both funding and materials to construct them. As such, Baltica had to mainly rely on coal, and eventually oil for most of its energy production. The Krugiti Power plant, was the largest coal power plant in Baltica, and for a while its main energy production site, supplying over 19% of all energy in Baltica.

However, following a large fire in 2001, the power plant had to be closed and Baltica had to begin expanding its energy variety. Currently, multiple of the “mega projects' ' have been pushed into the limelight, particularly Ugadi Nuclear Power Plant, a Large Nuclear power plant, planned to be constructed in the city of Ugadi and the Kretia Hydroelectric power station, a planned hydroelectric dam to be constructed on the Balandi river. Although currently these projects are only in the planning stages, if they were to be constructed they have the potential to turn Baltica into a energy exporter, and possible key player in middle Argis.

For now, about 46% of all energy in Baltica comes from coal, with 18% from oil, and 11% with Hydro. The rest make up a small majority, but include Solar (8.2%) Wind (5.1%) and Biofuel (8.7%) and geothermal (3%).
