The Commonwealth of Berlin and Hanover is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Friedrich Kraus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.366 billion Berliners love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Berliner economy, worth a remarkable 1,121 trillion Deutsche Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 176,211 Deutsche Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Berlin and Hanover's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yahlism.

Berlin and Hanover is ranked 4,668^th in the world and 74^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
