Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Kingdom of Red Snapperstein is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Kaiser Stefan der Große with an even hand, and renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.881 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Equality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Schloss Snapper. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Woodchip Exports and Uranium Mining.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, Red Snapperstein's first free elections in recent memory have been successfully concluded, and new urban roads are threatening city parks. Crime is moderate. Red Snapperstein's national animal is the Schnitzel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is No State Supported Religion, and its currency is the Mark.

Red Snapperstein is ranked 565th in Capitalist Paradise and 128,353rd in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -87 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
