The Rogue Nation of Der Deutscher Volksbund is a very large, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 185 million 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant German economy, worth 3.13 trillion Volksmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 16,899 Volksmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lines of trenches demarcate the nation's borders, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Der Deutscher Volksbund's national animal is the Adler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Der Deutscher Volksbund is ranked 273,911^th in the world and 1,283^rd in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.62 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
