The Empire Startling of Reimstagrad is a titanic, cultured nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 24.021 billion Reimstagradians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 62.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Reimstagradian economy, worth a remarkable 3,345 trillion Euros a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,284 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, gamblers often find their stakes burnt, male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, and Reimstagrad City consists only of government buildings and the mansions of government janitors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reimstagrad's national animal is the Agapornis, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Reimstagrad is ranked 9,459^th in the world and 1^st in France for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 42,754.95 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
