The Martial Totalitarian Empire of German Nightmare is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor German Nightmare the 1st with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cheerful population of 45.763 billion German Nightmareans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magna Germania. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient German Nightmarean economy, worth a remarkable 8,817 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 192,667 Reichsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

You can't ask the government "you and whose army?" when they declare they're going to rob you, Emperor German Nightmare the 1st can cry on demand, a small country is wondering where their capitol building's gold dome went, and you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. German Nightmare's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is the Imperial Cult.

German Nightmare is ranked 674^th in the world and 2^nd in Democratic Communist States for Safest, scoring 166.9 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
