The Imperial Crownlands of The Lower Rhine is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kurfürst Karl Albrecht III with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.794 billion Lower Rhinelanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.1%.

The very strong Lower Rhinelander economy, worth a remarkable 1,082 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 40,382 Marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Healthcare funding has been cut, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, The Lower Rhine has designated Bonn as its capital city, and Kurfürst Karl Albrecht III has just been declared ruler of The Lower Rhine in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Lower Rhine's national animal is the Black Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

The Lower Rhine is ranked 195,787^th in the world and 1^st in German Empire for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
