The Republic of Great Germanos is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Otto von Germanos with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The hard-working population of 10.113 billion Germanosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Germanosburg. The average income tax rate is 57.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Germanosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,098 trillion Bobuxes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,593 Bobuxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Sick days are on the rise, foreign aid is a seedy business, light entertainment isn't dead, and newspapers cannot report anything about politicians without their explicit consent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Germanos's national animal is the Walter, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Shrek.

Great Germanos is ranked 120,620^th in the world and 2^nd in New Democratic Union for Most Corrupt Governments, with 7.49 kickbacks per hour.
