The Democratic States of Berlin and Hanover is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 458 million Germans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Welfare, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 28.2%.

The frighteningly efficient German economy, worth 53.5 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 116,880 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, and election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll. Crime is totally unknown. Berlin and Hanover's national animal is the World War, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Berlin and Hanover is ranked 20,741^st in the world and 296^th in Europe for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,224.55 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
