The Empire of The German Electorates is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 3.371 billion German Electoratesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 63.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant German Electoratesian economy, worth 63.3 trillion Thalers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 18,776 Thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

T-shirts displaying a photo of Leader performing the Full-Monty are selling out, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The German Electorates's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The German Electorates is ranked 36,389^th in the world and 494^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 106.64 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
