The Empire of Annerrland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ferdinand the first with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, fear of technology, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.161 billion Annerrlandians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frankfurt am Main. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Annerrlandian economy, worth 150 trillion Annerrlandian dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,508 Annerrlandian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, right-wingers complain that too many people are suckling at the welfare teat, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Annerrland's national animal is the Lamb, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Annerrland is ranked 9,714^th in the world and 10^th in KAISERREICH for Most Patriotic, with 64.43 flags saluted per person per day.
