The Größer-Deutsches Kaiserreich of Drachen is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Kaiser Friedrich IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.955 billion Germans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient German economy, worth a remarkable 1,748 trillion Reichmarks a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 195,265 Reichmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion, and beggars lack pockets for spare change. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drachen's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is German Lutheranism.

Drachen is ranked 259,340^th in the world and 184^th in Fifth Empire for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.6 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
