The Germanische Kaiserreich of Vadterland is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kaiserina Solarya II with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 4.919 billion Germanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reichshaupstadt Berlin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.0%.

The all-consuming Germanian economy, worth 383 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 78,063 Reichsmarks, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Kaiserina Solarya II has just been declared ruler of Vadterland in an international press conference, burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, and Kaiserina Solarya II is the self-declared God of all Vadterland. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vadterland's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vadterland is ranked 112,857^th in the world and 1^st in Mundus for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 70.78 on the Hayek Index.
