The Republic of Zermanny is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Adam Olsborne with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.132 billion Zermanns are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zweinheim. The average income tax rate is 92.0%.

The all-consuming Zermann economy, worth 403 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Tourism. Average income is 97,766 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Zermann language, the government is suspected of mass disappearing dissidents both at home and abroad, and cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zermanny's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Zermanny is ranked 231,349^th in the world and 339^th in Thaecia for Most Secular, with 9.1 Atheism Rate.
