The Federation of Der Schwarzedeutschesreich is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Heinrich Gerhard with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.317 billion Schwarzdeutschers 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nachtadler. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.6%.

The thriving Schwarzdeutsch economy, worth 115 trillion Schwarzmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,406 Schwarzmarks, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, sports club owners are having a moneyball, Nachtadler's flashy holiday light displays can be seen from space, and evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Der Schwarzedeutschesreich's national animal is the Black-Crowned Night Heron, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Der Schwarzedeutschesreich is ranked 74,429^th in the world and 3,785^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
