Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Greater German Reich of Quenzhou is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Führer und Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.754 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government is financing an extremely costly war against malaria, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', Führer und Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler has just been declared ruler of Quenzhou in an international press conference, and citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quenzhou's national animal is the Reichsadler, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Reichsmark.

Quenzhou is ranked 1st in Communist and 68,926th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -14 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
