The Grand Duchy of The von zwiessen federation is a massive, genial nation, ruled by hans von zwiessen with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, avowedly heterosexual populace, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 1.052 billion von zwiessians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of hansel wilhelmius. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse von zwiessian economy, worth 83.9 trillion swissian marks 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 79,707 swissian marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government snoops on private internet connections, the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet, man-love is banned in the name of His love, and the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The von zwiessen federation's national animal is the mountain goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is protestant christianity.

The von zwiessen federation is ranked 205,033^rd in the world and 17^th in Morpheus for Largest Populations, with 1.05 billion capita.
