The German Kingdom of The Baden-Wurttemberg State is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hans Fischer with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.091 billion Badeneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stuttgart. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Baden-Wurttemberg Statean economy, worth 335 trillion Marks 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. 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 an impressive 160,561 Marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Baden-Wurttemberg Statean selfishness, government opponents tend to have their patents rejected immediately, and racehorses move a lot slower these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Baden-Wurttemberg State's national animal is the Baden Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestantism.

The Baden-Wurttemberg State is ranked 165,393rd in the world and 8th in GA IS DANK for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 432.78 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
