The Swagerific Doktor of Edward Richtofen is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dr Edward Richtofen with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.488 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Public Transport receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Breslau. The average income tax rate is 91%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

The people of Edward Richtofen are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, a nation-wide cull of Zombies is in effect, Edward Richtofen's leader goes out to lunch surrounded by large men in dark glasses, and Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edward Richtofen's national animal is the Zombie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Hat worship, and its currency is the Point.

Edward Richtofen is ranked 6th in The Great Kingdom of Prussia and 7,995th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 23 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
