The Red Prussian Field Marshall of Von Clausewitz is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Konig with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 15.445 billion Germans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of East Westshire. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Von Clausewitzian economy, worth 494 trillion Gold Marks 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, 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 32,035 Gold Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, the populace lives in fear of painful execution for minor offences, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, and the bourgeoisie are asked nicely to hand over the means of production. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Von Clausewitz's national animal is the Troll, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheranism.
Von Clausewitz is ranked 80,624th in the world and 2nd in Isle of Wight for Most Stationary, with 601.40046232568 days.
