The Republic of Deutsches Ostland is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 105 million Deutschens 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Deutschen economy, worth 7.44 trillion Deutchses Reichsmarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,871 Deutchses Reichsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", maximum security Deutschen subway stations inspire prison systems around the world, nobody ever questions the unquestioned rule that questions must always be asked, and eerie glow-in-the-dark cornfields give farmlands an uncanny appearance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deutsches Ostland's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Deutsches Ostland is ranked 138,817^th in the world and 3,034^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
