The Größer-Deutsches Kaiserreich of Drachen is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Kaiser Friedrich IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.019 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient German economy, worth a remarkable 1,774 trillion Reichmarks a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 196,770 Reichmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Hairdressers are among those who have disappeared overnight, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, the fate of the world literally rests on Kaiser Friedrich IV's fingers, and the government maintains that belief brings greater security than money or a roof. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drachen's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is German Lutheranism.

Drachen is ranked 327,098^th in the world and 204^th in Fifth Empire for Nicest Citizens, with 0.24 average smiles per day.
