The Holy Empire of Geldrauschenstadt is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Werner Vonderbank with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.298 billion Geldmenschen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Augenkraften. The average income tax rate is 22.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming a Geldrauschenmensch economy, worth 115 trillion Kaps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 89,007 Kaps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas, the nation's air force consists of strongly-worded letters folded into paper airplanes, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Geldrauschenstadt's national animal is the Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is MONEY.

Geldrauschenstadt is ranked 45,618^th in the world and 1,464^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 159.97 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
