The United Germanic Federation of The Kingtonn Republic is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Hans Herrmann with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.456 billion Kingtonnians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Germania. The average income tax rate is 60.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kingtonn Republician economy, worth 335 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,581 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, and an underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Kingtonn Republic's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Kingtonn Republic is ranked 23,388th in the world and 473rd in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 21,455.03 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
