The Ceremonial Monarchy of Germanium Imperial Empire is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Kaiser Willhelm IV with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 894 million Germanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlium. The average income tax rate is 23.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Germanian economy, worth 91.0 trillion Germanian Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 101,824 Germanian Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Books are considered luxuries only available to the incredibly wealthy, the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, and Kaiser Willhelm IV has just been declared ruler of Germanium Imperial Empire in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Germanium Imperial Empire's national animal is the Reichsadler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Germanium Imperial Empire is ranked 86,357^th in the world and 333^rd in Europeia for Most Patriotic, with 16.64 flags saluted per person per day.
