The Größer-Deutsches Kaiserreich of Drachen is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Kaiser Friedrich IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, parental licensing program, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.104 billion Germans 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 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 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient German economy, worth a remarkable 1,795 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 197,169 Reichmarks, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

One year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for Kaiser Friedrich IV's office, boot polish is the favourite lip gloss of entry-level corporate workers, Kaiser Friedrich IV's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, and warfare increasingly resembles a video game. 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 332,944^th in the world and 243^rd in Fifth Empire for Highest Drug Use, scoring 0.43 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
