The Theocracy of Von-Sternberg is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Robert Maximilian Freiherr with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.307 billion Von-Sternbergians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urga. The average income tax rate is 90.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Von-Sternbergian economy, worth 421 trillion Rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,466 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.
Battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, cops in Urga spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row, there's no representation without taxation, and the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Von-Sternberg's national animal is the Przewalski's Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Buddhism.
Von-Sternberg is ranked 170,687th in the world and 121st in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Stationary, with 98.73499236512 days.
