The Private Financial Holdings of Warburg Banking Group is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Warburg with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.932 billion Germans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.3%.

The frighteningly efficient German economy, worth 297 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,034 marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 686,995 per year while the poor average 21,457, a ratio of 32.0 to 1.

Commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, animal control is going door-to-door releasing all pets back into the wild, Warburg Banking Group successfully hosted the London Olympics, and the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Warburg Banking Group's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Warburg Banking Group is ranked 176,310^th in the world and 14^th in London for Largest Populations, with 1.93 billion capita.
