The Germanic Empire of Vulcravia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Kaiser Karl IV with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, enslaved workforce, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.892 billion Germans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Germanic economy, worth a remarkable 2,811 trillion Reichsdenars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 407,949 Reichsdenars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,297,550 per year while the poor average 97,646, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.

Small children are frequently chased by rehabilitated pitbulls, the nation's best artists are considered pretty easy to beat, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, and captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vulcravia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Vulcravia is ranked 8,615^th in the world and 20^th in United Kingdom for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,123.59 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
