The Technate of Eisendrache is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Director-General Magda Steinberg with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.442 billion Eisendrachens are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zentrum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Eisendrachen economy, worth 129 trillion drachenmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 90,026 drachenmarks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 323,805 per year while the poor average 17,915, a ratio of 18.1 to 1.

Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, parking lots are littered with coffee cups and doughnut crumbs, after every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow, and children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Eisendrache's national animal is the bundesadler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Eisendrache is ranked 273,853^rd in the world and 5^th in Industrial Union for Most Beautiful Environments, with 11.08 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
