The District of Mansfeld-Sudharz is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 1.706 billion Mansfeld-Sudharzians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Mansfeld-Sudharzian economy, worth 64.8 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,968 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The internet has been placed under government control, politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, and a major religion has been named as Mansfeld-Sudharz's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mansfeld-Sudharz's national animal is the Germany, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mansfeld-Sudharz is ranked 240,748^th in the world and 6^th in Saxony Anhalt for Most Developed, scoring 51.94 on the Human Development Index.
