The Authoritarian Reich of German Hazreich is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lukas Heinrich with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, infamous sell-swords, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.39 billion Germans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buenos Aires. The average income tax rate is 63.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient German economy, worth 104 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 43,685 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Even snitches get stitches, scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, and foreign lack of enthusiasm for German nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. German Hazreich's national animal is the German Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Revanchism.

German Hazreich is ranked 96,499^th in the world and 162^nd in United Kingdom for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,310.05 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
