The Republic of Greater Deutsche is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 466 million Deutsche are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Greater Deutschean economy, worth 47.2 trillion Deutschmarks 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 101,185 Deutschmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, with increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, and almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Deutsche's national animal is the Black Hawk-Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Greater Deutsche is ranked 51,093^rd in the world and 8^th in Nova Britannia Prima for Most Patriotic, with 31.27 flags saluted per person per day.
