Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The State of Panzerfolk is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.526 billion Panzerfolkians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The thriving Panzerfolkian economy, worth 914 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 67,578 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 313,956 per year while the poor average 8,741, a ratio of 35.9 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, military funding has been stripped back, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and the newly revamped army is so eager for action that it has trouble keeping the peace. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Panzerfolk's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Panzerfolk is ranked 239,960^th in the world and 5^th in Sydney for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.79 kickbacks per hour.
