The Kingdom of Germark is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Wilhelm XI with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.862 billion Germarkians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frankburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Germarkian economy, worth 439 trillion thalers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 153,601 thalers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 440,397 per year while the poor average 42,624, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, being wrong on the internet has been classified as digital terrorism, and light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Germark's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Germark is ranked 64,737^th in the world and 7^th in Outpost 338 for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 10.33 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
