The Constitutional Monarchy of Osterreich-Deutschland is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 243 million Osterreich-Deutschlandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Osterreich-Deutschlandian economy, worth 19.8 trillion Reichsmarkes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,488 Reichsmarkes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, a life spent suffering in silence is considered noble, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, and shady doctors seem to have impeccable records. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Osterreich-Deutschland's national animal is the Reichs Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Osterreich-Deutschland is ranked 63,579^th in the world and 698^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,455.56 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
