Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Federation of Schnauzer Homelands is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 13.433 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The nation has an international reputation for compassion, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schnauzer Homelands's national animal is the wild schnauzer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the schnauzermark.

Schnauzer Homelands is ranked 55th in International Democratic Union and 82,984th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -18 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
