The Manufacturing Conglomerate of Krupp Industries is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Cannon King with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 9.501 billion Germans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Essen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.5%.

The frighteningly efficient German economy, worth a remarkable 3,567 trillion Ingots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 375,511 Ingots, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,465,173 per year while the poor average 4,046, a ratio of 856 to 1.

Bank robbers always set aside 50% of the loot to pay off the judge, every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, Essen's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, and inter-species marriages are ignored by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Krupp Industries's national animal is the Badger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Freemasonry.

Krupp Industries is ranked 341,412^th in the world and 188^th in Mitteleuropa for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
