The Union of New Unified German Republics is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President-for-Life Fwootgummy with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, soft-spoken computers, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.193 billion New Germans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hillsburger. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient New German economy, worth a remarkable 1,383 trillion Bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 192,340 Bucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, reporters sent to cover suspected UFO visits come back with stories about quilting bees, the government spends twice as much reclaiming lost settlements from the sea as it could've on coastal defences, and t-shirts displaying a photo of President-for-Life Fwootgummy performing the Full-Monty are selling out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Unified German Republics's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

New Unified German Republics is ranked 6,712th in the world and 10th in Chicken overlords for Lowest Crime Rates, with 109.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
