The Reichesmilitärstaat of Nachfolgia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Oberste Führerin Angelika von Sturmgeist with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, disturbing lack of elderly people, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.813 billion Nachfolgians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sturmgeistberg. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The powerhouse Nachfolgian economy, worth a remarkable 5,062 trillion Gulþīnazzes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 204,045 Gulþīnazzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, diplomatic cables about Oberste Führerin Angelika von Sturmgeist have suddenly been very flattering, fortified nursing homes are wracked with daily skirmishes, and people who make the leader's blood boil get boiled. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nachfolgia's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Duality.

Nachfolgia is ranked 37,960^th in the world and 2,491^st in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 185.4 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
