The Commonwealth of Northern Deutsch is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Frankreich I with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 2.828 billion Imperialiteses enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial Capital. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Deutschian economy, worth 497 trillion Kaisermarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,977 Kaisermarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet, feeling like a winner comes at a price, tough diplomacy is often best handled with a nutcracker, and fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Northern Deutsch's national animal is the Imperial Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Northern Deutsch is ranked 135,583^rd in the world and 5,082^nd in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 742.9 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
