The Tank Manufacturing Company of Rheinmetall AG is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 687 million Rheinmettalians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coffeeburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Rheinmetallian economy, worth 95.8 trillion Rheinmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 139,501 Rheinmarks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 679,562 per year while the poor average 16,502, a ratio of 41.2 to 1.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, the official Rheinmetallian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, and owners of man-portable particle accelerator backpacks are advised not to cross the streams. Crime is moderate. Rheinmetall AG's national animal is the Tank, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rheinmetall AG is ranked 302,736^th in the world and 1^st in The Libertarian Heaven for Most Primitive, scoring -329.86 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
