The Teutonic Order of Menhad is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Hochmiester with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, prohibition of alcohol, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 39.859 billion Menhadians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marienburg. The average income tax rate is 63.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Menhadian economy, worth a remarkable 9,357 trillion Florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 234,758 Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government merely pays lip service to Genesian Catholic, the newly revamped army is so eager for action that it has trouble keeping the peace, the military has declared war on all religious influence, and at the edge of the final frontier space's biggest missile platform is about to unfold. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Menhad's national animal is the nothing, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Genesian Catholic.

Menhad is ranked 3,155^th in the world and 2^nd in NationStates World Regions for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,608.6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
