The Kingdom of GERMAN EMPIER is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Connor Edwin with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.586 billion IMPERIAL GERMANS are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Berlin. The average income tax rate is 56.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient GERMAN economy, worth a remarkable 1,192 trillion EUROS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 157,170 EUROS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every workday begins with group therapy, the law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it, code enforcement officers circle wealthy IMPERIAL GERMANS like vultures, and nations that kill an IMPERIAL GERMAN can expect a strongly worded letter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. GERMAN EMPIER's national animal is the Poland, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sikhism ☬.

GERMAN EMPIER is ranked 87,079^th in the world and 1,141^st in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,591.16 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
