The National Republic of Anhalt-Sigmaringen is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Generalleutnant Hans Speidel with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.17 billion Anhalt-Sigmaringenians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonn. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Anhalt-Sigmaringenian economy, worth 396 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,544 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, there are traffic jams at sea as diligent customs officers check every part of every ship, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and a passport is literally priceless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anhalt-Sigmaringen's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Anhalt-Sigmaringen is ranked 59,899^th in the world and 81^st in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 515.52 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
