The DDR of Ministerium Fur Staatssicherheit is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Erich Mielke with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, disturbing lack of elderly people, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.547 billion Surveillance Targets are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.8%.

The Ministerium Fur Staatssicherheitian economy, worth 900 trillion Mark der DDRS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 119,279 Mark der DDRS, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Science labs across the country languish in cobwebs as the government turns its attentions to spiritual matters, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance, and the elderly are killed softly with a song. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ministerium Fur Staatssicherheit's national animal is the Inoffizielle Mitarbeiter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sozialistische Einheitspartei.

Ministerium Fur Staatssicherheit is ranked 276,144^th in the world and 19^th in The Card Mine for Most Beautiful Environments, with 7.54 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
