The Government of the Frontiers of Der Militant is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Solomon Gill with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.905 billion Der Mormians 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, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Het Militaire Complex van Mormon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.9%.

The thriving Der Militantian economy, worth 176 trillion Der 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 92,570 Der Marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Daredevil kayakers frequently race against runaway hippos, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, all facts are created equal, and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Der Militant's national animal is the The Great Protector's Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Der Militant is ranked 287,396^th in the world and 342^nd in Viridian Sound for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.51 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
