The Union of Socialist Republic of Germannia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Smedley Butler with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 2.535 billion Germannia have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gremannia. The average income tax rate is 21.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Germannibus economy, worth 443 trillion dollars 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, 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 175,133 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, increasing numbers of children in Germannia have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, and evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction. Crime is totally unknown. Germannia's national animal is the Gray Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Germannia is ranked 171,138^th in the world and 336^th in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 44.85 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
