The Empire of Asgards Deutsches Reich is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Óðinn with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and smutty television. The compassionate, devout population of 1.223 billion Deutsche are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 87.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Deutsch economy, worth 117 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,920 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Armed security details escort librarians to their homes, school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, and birth announcements often also serve as death announcements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Asgards Deutsches Reich's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ásatrú.

Asgards Deutsches Reich is ranked 28,954^th in the world and 1^st in United European Union for Smartest Citizens, with 49.9 quips per hour.
