The Ewiges Imperium of Burgerwher is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Volkskommandant Smith with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, enforced nudity, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.219 billion Whermen 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Das Heiligtum. The average income tax rate is 45.4%.
The all-consuming Burgerwherian economy, worth 404 trillion kromers 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 125,618 kromers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Military chiefs are predicting extra funding in this year's budget, foreign policy is based upon the principle of sieve and take, money grows on trees, and the media have begun calling the government treasury "Volkskommandant Smith's stash". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Burgerwher's national animal is the King Cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Burgerwher is ranked 119,272nd in the world and 2nd in 1216 Right After Magna Carta for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,651.21 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
