Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Federal Republic of GroBdeutsches Reich is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Chancellor Christiane Vooleeck with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 11.569 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, and Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GroBdeutsches Reich's national animal is the Reichs Adler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is none, and its currency is the Euro.

GroBdeutsches Reich is ranked 23rd in European Union and 6,769th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
