The Federation of Neues Zweites Reich is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Günther with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.203 billion Neues Deutsches are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neues Berlin. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Neues Zweites Reichian economy, worth 364 trillion Deutsche Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 86,796 Deutsche Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, Neues Deutsches are fixin' ta comma any way they wanna, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, and liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neues Zweites Reich's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Neues Zweites Reich is ranked 11,462^nd in the world and 4^th in Hartfelden for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,112.19 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
