The Größer-Deutsches Kaiserreich of Drachen is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Kaiser Friedrich IV with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.225 billion Germans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient German economy, worth a remarkable 1,841 trillion Reichmarks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 199,604 Reichmarks, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

Squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, the banhammer is a standard police sidearm, and promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drachen's national animal is the Imperial Eagle and its national religion is German Lutheranism.

Drachen is ranked 6,117^th in the world and 21^st in Fifth Empire for Longest Average Lifespans, with 92.49 years.
