The Armed Republic of Free Jermanchen is a mid-sized, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 79 million Free Jermanchenians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.5%.

The very strong Free Jermanchenian economy, worth 4.77 trillion tengas a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Average income is 60,350 tengas, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Jermanchen's national animal is the puma.

Free Jermanchen is ranked 307,574^th in the world and 1,107^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.64 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
