The German territory of Neuschwabenland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Ministerpräsident with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.594 billion New-Swabians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gaussburg. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse New-Swabian economy, worth 272 trillion euros 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. 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 105,040 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, government popup ads are springing up like weeds, the studies of art and philosophy are banned, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Gaussburg" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neuschwabenland's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Neuschwabenland is ranked 161,845^th in the world and 28^th in Antarctica for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 783.97 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
