The Teutonic State of Upper Aralf Tarfugosh is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Grandmaster Hermann Friedrich with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, disturbing lack of elderly people, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.542 billion Teutons are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königsberg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Teutonic economy, worth a remarkable 1,594 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 211,400 Marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 991,308 per year while the poor average 26,877, a ratio of 36.9 to 1.

No cul-de-sac or trailer park is complete without a gambling parlor, citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, a citizen who thinks a slave is a deadbeat is entitled to make the descriptor literally true, and lonely people are supposed to be cheered up by the many parties that they are never invited to. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Aralf Tarfugosh's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Upper Aralf Tarfugosh is ranked 1,136^th in the world and 1^st in United Democratic World for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 9,798.43 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
