The Federation of Europatale is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Konrad Adenauer with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.319 billion Germans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frankfurt. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient German economy, worth 523 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,747 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

International tensions are high as Europatale threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Europatale's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Shintoismus.

Europatale is ranked 17,539^th in the world and 16^th in KAISERREICH for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,279.98 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
