The Empire of Zentralreich 2 is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 480 million Germans 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 tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Spirituality are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.
The very strong German economy, worth 31.6 trillion Europamarks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 65,810 Europamarks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 285,888 per year while the poor average 9,604, a ratio of 29.8 to 1.
Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the diplomatic corps tends to open negotiations by insulting all the foreigners in the room, and Zentralreich 2 has designated Berlin as its capital city. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zentralreich 2's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Zentralreich 2 is ranked 192,841st in the world and 143rd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Average, scoring 33.59 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
