The Theocracy of Tauferreich of Munster is a small, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 36 million Munsterians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Munsterian economy, worth 368 billion thalers 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. 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 10,223 thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tauferreich of Munster's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tauferreich of Munster is ranked 280,939^th in the world and 660^th in Nova Libertatia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 288.17 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
