The Holy Empire of Geldrauschenstadt is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Werner Vonderbank with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.219 billion Geldmenschen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Augenkraften. The average income tax rate is 20.3%.

The all-consuming a Geldrauschenmensch economy, worth 113 trillion Kaps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 93,140 Kaps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Military funding has been stripped back, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, and would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Geldrauschenstadt's national animal is the Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is MONEY.

Geldrauschenstadt is ranked 111,190^th in the world and 2,292^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,398.9 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
