The Alicorn Squadron of The First German Order is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Captain Matias Torres with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.029 billion Submariners are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Submarine Aircraft Carrier Alicorn. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Submariner economy, worth a remarkable 6,844 trillion Salvations a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 427,008 Salvations, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The police go to great efforts to seize contraband favored by politicians on the police oversight committee, the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, robotic spouses prove to be just as imperfect as flesh and blood ones, and handling people's data is proving an immersive experience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The First German Order's national animal is the Alicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Torresism.

The First German Order is ranked 1,064^th in the world and 22^nd in the Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 464.27 kickbacks per hour.
