The Republic of Germanic acid is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, ban on automobiles, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.176 billion Germanic acidians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 39.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Germanic acidian economy, worth 689 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 56,627 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Germanic acid, understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance, a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Germanic acid's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Germanic acid is ranked 263,666^th in the world and 4,459^th in Artificial Solar System for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.08 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
