The Socialist Republic of Germaniej is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Liberator with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, national health service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.419 billion Germaniejians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Berlin. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Germaniejian economy, worth 984 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 116,922 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, raccoons are plump and satiated, corrupt officials have adopted the greater good as their catchphrase, and optometrists will see citizens in seconds but health inspectors won't be sighted for years. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Germaniej's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Germaniej is ranked 36,687^th in the world and 390^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 223.86 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
