The Reich of Jermani is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Kaiser Frederik I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.537 billion Jermans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.1%.
The very strong Jerman economy, worth 711 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,337 Reichsmarks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 241,005 per year while the poor average 22,849, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.
Jermani is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, schoolkids say that the air doesn't taste like wee-wee any more, the nation refuses to discard its increasingly useless penny, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jermani's national animal is the Eagle and its national religion is Reformed Catheric.
Jermani is ranked 222,141st in the world and 68th in The Doldrums for Most Patriotic, with 3.86 flags saluted per person per day.
