The Kingdom of GERMAN EMPIER is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Connor Edwin with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.38 billion IMPERIAL GERMANS 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Berlin. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient GERMAN economy, worth a remarkable 1,165 trillion EUROS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 157,882 EUROS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, and there's more than one way to skin a diplomat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. GERMAN EMPIER's national animal is the Poland, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sikhism ☬.

GERMAN EMPIER is ranked 16,400^th in the world and 893^rd in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 87.87 on the Human Development Index.
