The Meritocratical Stratocracy of Motsumoto is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Tanya Degurechaff with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.404 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Motsumotoan economy, worth a remarkable 4,726 trillion Deutsche Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 414,496 Deutsche Marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,190,119 per year while the poor average 114,794, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Government agents scour baking periodicals for subversive recipes, children searching for cat videos must watch dogs in equal proportion, things are looking up for sentient toilet bowls, and kids feel more beat up than ever after a hard day at school. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Motsumoto's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cult of Iron.

Motsumoto is ranked 243^rd in the world and 10^th in Osiris for Most Patriotic, with 156.64 flags saluted per person per day.
