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

The People's Republic of Restored German Democratic Republic is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 233 million Germans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant German economy, worth 1.57 trillion volksmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 6,750 volksmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Restored German Democratic Republic's national animal is the golden eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Restored German Democratic Republic is ranked 169,522^nd in the world and 572^nd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 279.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
