The Dictatorship of PerhapsThisIsSomethingElse is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 651 million 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong German economy, worth 65.6 trillion Reichmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,737 Reichmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, and statue-sitting has replaced the stake-out as the dullest form of police duty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PerhapsThisIsSomethingElse's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
PerhapsThisIsSomethingElse is ranked 41,471st in the world and 40th in Sophia for Smartest Citizens, with 45.58 quips per hour.
