Location: Land of Moldovan Eagles

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The German Imperial Principality of Backup is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Man with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.116 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government devotes most of its attentions to Religion & Spirituality, with areas such as Social Welfare and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hebron. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A robust private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Man has just been declared ruler of Backup in an international press conference, Romanian Orthodoxy-Bremen Patriarchate has been named as Backup's national religion, commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, and government spending has hit an all-time low. Crime is crippling. Backup's national animal is the Werewolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Romanian Orthodoxy-Bremen Patriarchate, and its currency is the Backupic.

Backup is ranked 6th in Land of Moldovan Eagles and 30,090th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
