The Republic of Schmidt Peoplemover

“Lovely German Moving Elevators”

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

The Republic of Schmidt Peoplemover is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its feral children, smutty television, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.693 billion Germans 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rummelsburg. The average income tax rate is 24.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Schmidt Peoplemoverian economy, worth 554 trillion Doodads a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,224 Doodads, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, police are arresting costumed characters at comic book conventions, and politicians are battling inequality by declaring themselves better than everyone else. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schmidt Peoplemover's national animal is the ererer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Schmidt Peoplemover is ranked 282,389^th in the world and 102^nd in Kowloon for Safest, scoring 6.2 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
