The Republic of Kiel GER is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 868 million Kiel GERians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kiel GERian economy, worth 59.1 trillion euros 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. 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 68,069 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, and the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kiel GER's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Kiel GER is ranked 182,089^th in the world and 342^nd in Aerospace for Highest Food Quality, scoring 13.16 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
