The Republic of German Defence Force XII is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.298 billion German Defence Force XIIians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.8%.

The strong German Defence Force XIIian economy, worth 152 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,433 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

Voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low, the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle, pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, and newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. German Defence Force XII's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

German Defence Force XII is ranked 45,049^th in the world and 4^th in MG Puppet Storage for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,613.52 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
