The German Army of AURP is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Horst Heinze with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The cynical population of 29.806 billion AURPians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 23.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The AURPian economy, worth 900 trillion Axes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 30,227 Axes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy, gambling is outlawed, AURP has designated Berlin as its capital city, and Horst Heinze has just been declared ruler of AURP in an international press conference. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AURP's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Germanism.

AURP is ranked 191,032^nd in the world and 3^rd in Nihil Omnia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
