The Confederacy of Berlin Prussia is a huge, safe nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 510 million Prussians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Prussian economy, worth 16.4 trillion Prussian Marks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,155 Prussian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government seizes all major gold finds, glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, Black Eagle sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites, and you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Berlin Prussia's national animal is the Black Eagle.
Berlin Prussia is ranked 278,997th in the world and 136th in Equiterra for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -68.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
