The Kaiserliche Republik of Germaxiar is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Andree Markelack with an even hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.557 billion Germaxiarians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deutchavaria. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Germaxiarian economy, worth 372 trillion Germaxiar Markens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 145,654 Germaxiar Markens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Childish pranks are no laughing matter, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", and government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Germaxiar's national animal is the Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Germaxiar is ranked 5,671^st in the world and 284^th in Lazarus for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 39,714.12 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
