The Größer-Deutsches Kaiserreich of Drachen is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Kaiser Friedrich IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.966 billion 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient German economy, worth a remarkable 1,757 trillion Reichmarks a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 196,056 Reichmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Bands of paramedics walk the streets looking for suspicious medical activity, the government byline is that a media campaign a day keeps international criticism at bay, the poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, and the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drachen's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is German Lutheranism.

Drachen is ranked 11,704^th in the world and 48^th in Fifth Empire for Highest Average Incomes, with 196,056.55 Standard Monetary Units.
