The Grand Duchy of Totenheim is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Antonia zu Totenheim with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.283 billion Totenheimers 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 prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Environment are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Totburg. The average income tax rate is 70.6%.

The Totenheimian economy, worth a remarkable 1,994 trillion Guldens a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,412 Guldens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, international war-crimes are good for business and business is booming, anyone dissenting from the state ideology is declared "mentally ill" and whisked away in a straitjacket, and train stations can be 'armful places. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Totenheim's national animal is the Fledermaus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Blood.

Totenheim is ranked 32,608^th in the world and 1^st in Varisienne for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.22 law-abiding acts per hour.
