The Stratocratic Confederation of Germano-Republic is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Autarch Thanas'Klan tan Aselagu with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and national health service. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 10.109 billion Germanoes enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calpitine. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Germano economy, worth a remarkable 1,723 trillion Zans a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,495 Zans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, Autarch Thanas'Klan tan Aselagu's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, Autarch Thanas'Klan tan Aselagu is considering changing the Germano flag to one with more glitter, and the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Germano-Republic's national animal is the Klorokrillia, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Germano-Republic is ranked 16,706^th in the world and 268^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,141.9 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
