The Military Conglomerate of Rhineland Federation is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kendra von Hartfelden with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 12.947 billion Soldiers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cologne. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Rhineland Federationian economy, worth a remarkable 1,382 trillion Deutschmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 106,763 Deutschmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving", school football matches are usually five-a-side, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, and people can get away with murder these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhineland Federation's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Rhineland Federation is ranked 49,834^th in the world and 6^th in Hartfelden for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,819.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
