The Resurging Empire of The Baden-Wurttemberg State is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Hans Fischer II with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.12 billion Badeneans 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stuttgart. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Baden-Wurttemberg Statean economy, worth 889 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 215,982 Marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 804,224 per year while the poor average 40,713, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.

Many friends and relatives of Emperor Hans Fischer II have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, the military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Baden-Wurttemberg State's national animal is the Dire Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.
