The Monarchical Community of GAC is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Klara Hoffmann with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.264 billion Germans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Das Neue Westberlin. The average income tax rate is 43.3%.

The all-consuming German economy, worth 352 trillion Neue Deutsche Marks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,030 Neue Deutsche Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Senior professors are allowed to skip the wait at soup kitchens, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, Germans are unrivalled in obstacle courses, and barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Das Neue Westberlin Natural History Museum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GAC's national animal is the Rooster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Protestantism.

GAC is ranked 276,384^th in the world and 19^th in Arakeia for Most Cultured, scoring 58 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
