The Armed Republic of Einheitswelt is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 516 million Brothers and Sisters are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, 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 Centrastadt Alpha. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Einheitsweltian economy, worth 25.5 trillion Coupons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 49,343 Coupons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Einheitswelt has designated Centrastadt Alpha as its capital city, moonshine has made a resurgence, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Einheitswelt after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and it's best to decline if Leader offers to buy a round of drinks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Einheitswelt's national animal is the none, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Einheitswelt is ranked 308,554^th in the world and 18^th in The Southern Lands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.27 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
