The Democratic Republic of Hundermenschen is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Atlas Koch with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 24.646 billion Hundermenschenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zolana. The average income tax rate is 90.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hundermenschenian economy, worth a remarkable 4,321 trillion Hundermenschen Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 175,356 Hundermenschen Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", nothing in life is promised except death and government support, and catching the latest tribal tournament is to die for. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hundermenschen's national animal is the Timber Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hundermenschen is ranked 20,894^th in the world and 765^th in Lazarus for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 25,367.39 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
