The Weissersteiner Cultural City of Lichterstadt is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kaiser Wilhelm II with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.088 billion Wessersteiners enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lichterstadt. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wessersteiner economy, worth 632 trillion Kronemarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,232 Kronemarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, school kids who pretend to drive imaginary cars get a social worker and a police observer assigned to them, and students abandon classrooms for online education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lichterstadt's national animal is the Eagle and Lion, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity and Islam.

Lichterstadt is ranked 13,265^th in the world and 376^th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 117.94 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
