The Volksrepublik of Peoples Republic of the German States is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hans Halle with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.712 billion Austrians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vienna. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Austrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,103 trillion Deutschmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 94,198 Deutschmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has declared war on all passing comets, untold millions of Deutschmarks are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, weapons produced by newly nationalized armaments factories have been found to contain sawdust instead of gunpowder, and all news sources are under strict government control. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peoples Republic of the German States's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Levi'ism.

Peoples Republic of the German States is ranked 36,412^th in the world and 62^nd in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Developed, scoring 71.53 on the Human Development Index.
