The Workers' and Peasants' State of The German Democratic Republic is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Generalsekretär des ZK der SED Krenz with an iron fist, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 32.121 billion citizens of the GDR are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin - Hauptstadt der DDR. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse GDR economy, worth a remarkable 3,117 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 97,049 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, workers plan vacations during election season, government expenses are beyond compare, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Berlin - Hauptstadt Der DDR" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The German Democratic Republic's national animal is the peace dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The German Democratic Republic is ranked 38,699^th in the world and 1^st in Planeet Aarde for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 216.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
