The Ingenious Rocket Scientist of Wernher Magnus Maximilian Von Braun is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Wernher Magnus Maximilian Von Braun with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 10.499 billion Rocket Scientists 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cape Canaveral. The average income tax rate is 52.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rocket Scientist economy, worth a remarkable 1,188 trillion Sleighs 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 113,190 Sleighs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young people suspect their parents might be a little bit stupid, they who do not work shall not eat, Wernher Magnus Maximilian Von Braun signs the laws but abides by none of them, and mothers drive their college-graduate children to work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wernher Magnus Maximilian Von Braun's national animal is the Reindeeer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Wernher Magnus Maximilian Von Braun is ranked 73,373rd in the world and 8th in Foshan Mars Colony for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
